A Blank Slate

When one gathers the memories of the past 21 years of my life, there's quite a bit to recall. Public school, church, family, friends. All things that changed like the scenery in a fast movie.

And yet, they're still there. All of them.

But now, now a completely new chapter is being prepared to be written in my life. For the first time ever I'll be attending an all christian school, where everyone believes the same way I do. I get to start over.

No one there knows me or my past. No one will ask me why I always wear skirts or why I never cut my hair. Or why I never curse or tell dirty jokes.

After 16 1/2 years of school, I will finally be experiencing something I've never experienced before.
It may not be perfect, but it will be completely different.

Bible College.

Two words not meant for everyone or even some of those that attend, when you think about it. Two words that will change the course of someone's very existence because they decided to dedicate their whole lives to the ministry God has placed in their lives.

Bible College: A Blank Slate.

It is my new beginning. My past is only there to learn from and to be appreciated.

What is in store? New friends? New enemies? A deeper relationship with God? Open doors to ministry? A husband?

Only God knows. He'll fill up this empty slate when the time comes.
