You cannot move forward when you are constantly looking back. That is some age old wisdom, that most would consider common sense. It was good to be reminded of it tonight. I know there is value in looking back and understanding where you have come from, being able to recognize how you have changed and where life has taken you, however the past is not the only factor in forming the future.

I am excited about the possibility of getting an education . . . learning is pretty darn cool.

I want to be follow Jesus better . . . I need to convert my "wanting" into action.

I better get on that.
