Today

It is rare in life that you know beforehand that a day is going to change your life forever. Your wedding day, and maybe the day of your scheduled c-section; but days like that are very limited. Normally it is in hindsight that we recognize those kinds of days and wish we had savored them a little more. Today will be one of those days for me. Today I will go to work, leave around 10 to take my Hebrew Bible final, head back to work, then leave at 3:30 to go take my Historical Preservation final, by 8:00 I will be heading home to eat dinner and go to bed. But it will be the VERY LAST TIME! Today will be the very last day that I ever work a full time job and live the life of a full time student. Today I will be a college graduate. Today I will feel the satisfaction of a short-term sacrifice for a long-term gain. Today I will not rush, I will not stress out over last minute studying, I will not take things for granted. Today I will soak up every minute.

Today will mark the change in a season of my life, of my family’s lives. Today it will all be worth it.

And tomorrow… Well who knows about what tomorrow might bring. I trust the One that has brought me through this journey will lead me into the next one. I am going to enjoy today!
