And we will earn new eyes...

Exhaustion overtakes me at this moment. I am still cold from wearing wet clothes for 4 hours in air conditioning because we had to film in the pouring rain. I need to get in bed soon. However I am ending this night joyful because it's okay to be tired from hard work and pursuing something I love. I will apply to Columbia College, and I will attend it if I get in. That's a huge relief to me to know that, and to know in my heart I'm really excited and have no what-ifs about it. So now it's time to wait for the application to open up for the 07-08 school year, so there should be less talk of college for a bit. I am so blessed to know my passion in life, I thank God for that. I thank God that he has led me through different points in my life that have shown me my passion, all starting with me telling Jon Nance that I felt like a failure because I didn't feel called to ministry during my sophomore year which then led to Rob giving me the book Roaring Lambs and then on to a message by Tony Evans during Moody's Founder's Week and a whole lot of small things and now here I am planning to go to school for it.

When our color dies,
We will bury the ashes of time,
And we will earn new eyes.
