So much rushing through my head in the last couple weeks before i head back to Texas for summer…so i figured what else to do but get them out on a public forum.
After CCU dropped my major of Secondary Ed-Math a few weeks ago (they’re letting all students enrolled in this major finish out all there math classes at the school of mines, because CCU doesn’t offer any math classes anymore), I realized that it would be very difficult to stay at CCU and finish my degree there. I found a schedule that would work at least for next fall, and I was excited to see what God had in store for me. However, the day before spring break I got an e-mail from my counselor, saying that my schedule was not going to work and had a suggested course change. However he obviously didn’t look into it too much because that second schedule was even more mixed around then the first. At this point I began to think that CCU might not be the right fit for me anymore. Don’t get me wrong I absolutely love everything about CCU, it has treated me so good this past 8 months, and I would love to stay. However I really feel God calling me to be a teacher, so where does that leave me? How much is a degree even going to be worth from a school that no longer has that major? If God is truly calling me to be a teacher which I whole-heartedly believe he is, then it would be selfish of me to not give myself the best opportunity to do this. Therefore I have decided that next year I will be coming back to Texas and attending Texas State University. They have a great education program and it’s a lot cheaper. This being said in order to pursue God’s calling for my life, I’m having to give up the thing that has brought me the most pleasure and most frustration in my life. For the first time since I was 4, I will no longer be playing basketball competitively. Just even typing that makes me shake my head and sends tingles down my body. However, in this life everyone makes sacrifices, and basketball is just an earthly pleasure that is something that while it kills me, I can live without. This also means that me Kyle, Ben, and Grants intramural team is going to win the whole thing, but thats besides the point. But back to the point, I feel like the only thing that would be keeping me at CCU would be selfish reasons, being able to play basketball, and all the amazing friends that I’ve been able to acquire since coming here. But the reason you go to college is to get an education and I want to get the best education I can, so Texas State here I come…..
Oh and my phone got stolen yesterday, so that made me feel a lot better
These are words to build a life on
These are Your words how can they be mine
These are words to build a life on
These are Your words I want them to be mine
Blessed are the poor
Blessed are the weak
Blessed are the ones
Who can barely speak
Blessed in your hurt
Blessed in your pain
Blessed when your teardrops
Are falling down like rain
Blessed when you’re broken
Blessed when you’re blind
Blessed when you’re fragile
When you have lost your mind
Blessed when you’re desperate
Blessed when you’re scared
Blessed when you’re lonely
Blessed when you’ve failed
Blessed when you’re beat up
Blessed when you’re bruised
Blessed when you’re tore down
Blessed when you’re used
These are words to build a life on
These are Your words how can they be mine
These are words to build a life on
These are Your words I want them to be mine
Blessed when you’re heartbroke
Blessed when you’re fired
Blessed when you’re choked up
Blessed when you’re tired
Blessed when the plans
That you so carefully laid
End up in the junkyard
With all the trash you made
Blessed when you feel like
Giving up the ghost
Blessed when your loved ones
Are the ones who hurt you most
Blessed when you lose your
Own identity
Then blessed when you find it
And it has been redeemed
Blessed when you see what
Your friends can never be
Blessed with your eyes closed
Then blessed you see Me
These are words to build a life on
These are Your words how can they be mine
These are words to build a life on
These are Your words I want them to be mine
Blessed when you’re hungry
Blessed when you thirst
Cause that’s when you will eat of
The bread that matters most
Blessed when you’re put down
Because of me you’re dissed
Because of me you’re kicked out
They take you off their list
You know you’re on the mark
You know you’ve got it right
You are to be my salt
You are to be my light
So bring out all the flavor
In the feast of this My world
And light up all the colors
Let the banner be unfurled
Shout it from the rooftops
Let the trumpets ring
Sing your freaking lungs out
Jesus Christ is King!
Jesus is my Savior
Jesus is divine
Jesus is my answer
Jesus is my life
These are words to build a life on
These are Your words how can they be mine
These are words to build a life on
These are Your words I want them to be mine
Give us ears that we may hear them
voice that we may sing them
life that we may live them
hope that we may give them
hearts that we can feel them
eyes that we can see them
thoughts that we may think them
tongues that we may speak Your words
