It's officially the 3rd day of the new year and already I see the switch just ahead where my life's train will change to the track of college and work again. *sigh* It was inevitable, but I think change can be a good thing, even if you aren't looking forward to it. For example, I'll have class, work, and homework to do, so while I won't be able to sluff off all day doing nothing of consequence, I also won't be getting lazy and useless. I need to be of use, if I didn't I'd be dead. God still has something in store for me. So, change is coming. Nothing I haven't done before, but I hope I can deal with this change better than I ever have before. I don't want to just go to work and pass my classes, I want to really actually learn things, feel renewed strength as I wait on the Lord for the desires of my heart. Basically John Foreman of Switchfoot said it best- "I want to thrive not just survive" I want to Thrive this year! And with the Lord's help I certainly shall :)
"No I'm not alright
I know that I'm not right
A stirring wheel don't mean you can drive
A warm body don't mean your alive
No I'm not alright
I know that I'm not right
It feels like I travel but I never arrive
I want to thrive not just survive
I want to thrive not just survive"
-Switchfoot (on their newest album Vice Verses)
