new beginnings

such a simple statement... such big implications. Today, we had two new beginnings. Both are pretty significant, and both are things we will look back on and say... so thats when this started.

First, Tye started college today. And true to form, it was not an easy start for him. He was up early, 5am... and off to a 6:12bus, which got him to campus at 7am. Immediately he got his student ID, and went off to his first class. Which was wrong. Off to the department chair. Fixed the english class. Off to math class. Which was wrong. Off to the department chair. Fixed the math class... oh by the way - you can't take that Bio class, OR that lab yet. Fixed the Bio class. Kept the Psychology class. Financial aid? A (2) hr wait. Hand in a paper and wait for a letter because there is too much backlog. We don't have answers for you yet. Off to get the bus pass... 5-7 day wait. Use your student Id for now.

LOL My son had quite an awakening. Not only into College Life, but on how well equipped he is to handle it. He's stronger than he thinks... and he'll make it. I know he can do it.

Second, we went to the volunteer orientation at our new church. A lot of new people were there looking to get involved. That was cool. Tye signed up to work in the Cafe. I signed up to work in the tech/lighting/sound department and/or sing in the worship band. Wow. That's scary and exciting all at the same time. I know I can sing. Do I have the confidence to do it in front of a couple hundred people? I don't know. I do know that I received a prophetic word several months ago that said God would be opening doors for me to use my voice more in worship and worship settings. Is this that opportunity? I don't know... but we'll see!

Anyway - what a day... right?
