I however, spent the weekend away from the high school chaos, and with a great group of Christian believers in Detroit Lakes. The Castaway Club camp ground is amazing, and I am so glad we had the opportunity to use the grounds again this year.
Senior year hits me in the gut, time and time again. This weekend it was on Saturday night. That was my last fall retreat with Grace Church. I am a senior, and I will be leaving the group next year. Wow.
Another thing that hit me, was the support in our senior class at church. Not how amazing it is, but how it isn't there. Class of '09 has been through so much, we never had the chance to grow as a class. Not only that, but there isn't much chemistry between everyone. I have many friends in my grade, but not any super-duper great ones.
That was the hardest thing for me this trip. I realized I have no 'best-friend' within Crave. It's difficult for me to admit it, but I think it's true. Sure I've got buddies that I hang out with, but I have no one that would save me a seat on the bus. No one that would check in with me if I was looking like I was down. As much as I want that, I'm okay without it. I will continue to be who I am, checking in and saving seats. It would just be nice to have someone close to me, return the favor.
On a lighter note, I really truly did enjoy the weekend. I am not saddened what so ever by missing the homecoming dance, as fun as they can be. Church is such a stronger importance in my life, I had no problem missing a dance.
School is getting crazy as the classes continue to develop more complex and build on the review of the previous course. Homework is building up, and so is the stress!
Bring it on. I've got God on my side.
