Oh gosh. I still feel like it's too early to ask us to reflect on our junior year. But I can definitely say it's been an interesting one.
Academically, I don't have too much to say. School is school. My classes have been difficult, but I've had great teachers. My grades have definitely been better, but thankfully I've still got some time and my teachers are being very generous with makeup work.
Aside from just school though, my junior year has been very introspective. Meaning I've learned a lot about myself. Throughout the year I have been, and still am, going through a book titled Wild at Heart written by Christian author John Eldredge. Through it Jesus has revealed to me a lot about my own heart. Places I've been deeply hurt and not healed, how those wounds have affected me, as well as who He made me to be and how He desperately wants to revive those wounded places in my life. I've learned about finding my strength and courage and identity as a man only in Jesus, because it can't really be found anywhere else.
Through learning these things and becoming more stable in my own identity, Jesus opened the door for me to begin a relationship with an amazing God-loving girl I'm absolutely crazy about. That's been quite the adventure.
This summer I want to camp and hike and get out into nature a TON. I want to go on lots of adventures. I have a high possibility of beginning an internship with a luthier in town. Hopefully I can use that as my mentoring project. I would love to get a summer job if I could handle that on my schedule too. Kind of need the money. I also would love to have my restricted license by the end of the summer.
My senior year I again want to follow Jesus with my whole heart. He's literally my everything.
