North Carolina says hello

Only about 3 weeks of 24/7 left...I feel like I've kinda spiritually checked out recently. I haven't had the same desire to read the Bible lately, I haven't thought about praying all the time, it's like I've almost forgotten God in my everyday life and I hate that. What happened to walking in the spirit and praying without ceasing and a burning desire to read the Word everyday?

I feel like now that the year is almost over I should be some super Christian leader person and have it all together but I'm not and I don't.

The way I pictured my life at 19 when I was a kid is very different than what it is now. Wow 19? That sounds so old and so young at the same time. How is that possible?
I've been thinking about this summer a lot since turning in my cadre application. I don't want to go home and get back into the everyday routine of living complacently and just getting through each day. When I go home I want all the people that knew me before I went through 24/7 to see a complete and total change. I want to be an example to all the teenagers in my church, not just the highschoolers but the college students too. I want to live differently than I did last summer.

In order to do that I need to finish these last 3 weeks strong. No checking out, no taking anything for granted, no just getting by. Make the most of every flipping opportunity!!
