This feeling....
it feels so good.
I cant even begin to describe how I have felt the past day and a half. Its like I am floating....
I graduated yesterday. Yes. Thats right. I did.
Its surreal, and although I thought I should be feeling sad about leaving all my friends, I wasn't.
Because im not losing my friends. Im actually keeping up with them quite well. I've even gained a couple good friends in the last week or so. I really dont care how hard it will be, but I am going to keep good relationships with the friends I have now while I am in Charlotte.
One thing keeps coming back to my mind right now, so I think ill write about it.
Yesterday during graduation the student speakers seemed to put a lot of emphasis on how much you need to thank those who raised you, whether it be your parents or your great distant twice removed old as heck aunt. This made me ponder. Which doesnt normally happen. I thought about how much my parents do for me. The little things that they do. The big things that they do. How they stay up all night to help you when your throwing up not in the toilet, but all around it. How they buy you everything you want at the grocery store, even if you wont eat it. Im pretty sure the love parents have towards their children is almost as great as the love shown by Jesus Christ towards every
one. This all got me to thinking about how once we come to that certain age in which we gain independence and a sense of maturity, we need to tell them how much we appreciate them. Yesterday after all the graduation festivities, I went to each one of my parents and told them thank you and how much I loved and appreciated them for getting me through my life. It brought me much joy to see their eyes light up and the smile stretch a mile across their faces.

What im trying to say can be sumed up in a little scripture.
Eph. 6: 1-3
Children, obey your parents in the lord for this is right. "Honor your father and mother" (for this is a commandment with a promise), "that it may go well with you and that you may live long in the land."
