Walking Forward

My time left in Slippery Rock is starting to slip away. In a week I will be moving out of my classy trailer home, in 2.5 weeks I will be hopefully crossing off one of my life list items (complete a half-iron man) and in 4 weeks I will be packing up my life and flying to Denver Colorado to start my new job working for AmeriCorps. Its crazy to think that I will be leaving Slippery Rock without a designated time to come back. That everything I have created and accumulated the past 5 years is being packed up and removed from this place. The past couple months my future plans have greatly changed, and I have come to realize that life is way to short to be worried about messing up sometimes, or disappointing, or being scared. I have become a stronger me. I may not always make the right choice, or do the perfect thing but at the end of the day its me.. Strengths and weaknesses. Tested everyday.

When I stand before God at the end of my life, I would hope that I would not have a single bit of talent left, and could say "I used everything you gave me"
