The Finish Line

It seems surreal that my second to last semester of pre-reqs is coming to an end next week. After next Wednesday I will only need one more class ( slight chance of two ) and all my pre-reqs will be completed. This entire application process has been ridiculously stressful but has taught me that I need to continue to lift EVERYTHING into God's hands. I realized this after I submitted my applications because up until then I felt I had some control over my situation. I thought after submitting my apps I would be less stressed but actually became more stressed because I could not longer control any aspect of the process. It's gotten better recently and its something I continue to lift up to God. I'm extremely blessed to have a group of guys in my bible study who continue to pray for me. I ended up applying to a whopping 18 schools all over the United States because I didn't want to limit my options. I'm hopeful to get in somewhere and know that God will get me to where he wants me to be.

On another note, the last two weekends have been amazing as I've been privileged enough to coach the championship team for the men's REM football team at the turkeybowl and play in the championship of a local basketball league. It was truly amazing to see all the hard work the football team had put into weeks of practices and I was blessed to be a part of it. Many members of our team came from long distances to make our weekly practices, showing true dedication to the team. Caleb Lui showed the most dedication as he bussed down from New York every weekend to show up to our practices. He played like a champion leading our offense up and down the field (throwing zero picks the entire tournament too). The icing on the cake came was the women's team taking home the women's championship just 20 minutes before we finished. I felt the group of guys we had this year were so in sync with one another and constantly fed off of each others energy. We had no incidences of fighting/arguing which makes everything all that much better. The following weekend CBC was able to win the championship in a league we play in. Although it may not have been a SUPER competitive league, I'll miss playing in organized games with those guys.

Cruise to the Bahamas January 15th, say whatttttt?
