Why I want to be a grown up... by me
This post is entitled, "Why I want to be a grown up... by me" and in it I will atempt to explain what I mean when I say that I want to be a grown up. I think, though, that I might already sort of be one....
No, but seriously. In the past two months especially I have found that I like the idea of settling into life. I like the fact that I have been out of high school for six years, and I am looking forward to the day when I have a real job in my 'career' and I can have a somewhat reasonable expectation about what I'm going to be doing in three to five years.
Now I know that I will only know so much as God clues me in on as far as what I'm really going to be doing in three to five years at any time, but you get the point I hope.
I like to go to bed early, and get up early. I enjoy the time I get in the morning before the rest of the world wakes up, and I know that someday when I'm not crazy busy and trying to do college ministry I'm going to like it even more because I won't HAVE to stay up late.
No, I don't know. I am starting to feel more settled about life, and being out in the world 'on my own.' I kind of like the person I am becoming, and I think that in about fifteen years I'll be even better, and I kind of like that too.
I don't know. I don't know how to explain what I mean by all of this really, but I think there must be some mental and life shift that happens in the mid-twenties and I'm not so much afraid of it... I actually think it's kind of liberating.
