It’s Okay to Cry
Once upon a time..
There was a joyous night:
A night filled with many tears,
Largely from one young man.This night marked a season’s end,
Yet also marked a season’s beginning.
It was the culmination of nine weeks:
A look back and a look forward alike.This young man had promised himself, “No tears.”
He had promised all of his close friends, “No tears.”
He had laughed his way through highschool graduation,
So really, why would he ever cry over this graduation?But as a backstory, he had always been ashamed of his tears.
He had grown up with a disposition to cry over good reasons,
Yet those good reasons had a way of striking fear into him:
Fear that his tears were an offense and travesty to behold.None the less, on this final, concluding night, names were given,
And all his close friends were likened unto brave heroes of the past.
So after spending nine weeks with such men, being given so accurate names,
“What name could possibly be given to someone like.. uh, me? Seriously!”Yet strangely, being likened unto a weeping prophet somehow clicked;
As if his prayer closet got a tip of the hat and a secret hand shake.
Meanwhile, all of heaven smiled as he burst into excessive tears.
Because his Father, after all those years, gently whispered,“My son, it’s okay to cry..”

Intermission
Me in the waiting room: (more like my bedroom desk, but still..) Ladies and gentlemen,
Chris has walked into the Surgeon’s operation room.
Don’t expect him to walk out alive, because he won’t.

A New Era (To Post or Not To Post)
On May 22nd, 2015, around 8:00ish pm, after attending since k4, I graduated from Fourth Baptist Christian School. When the tassel went from one side of my head to the other, it marked the end of a chapter in my life, and the beginning of a new one.
Unlike the past two summers, this summer, I will not be traveling with The Academy of Arts, but I will be attending Ellerslie Discipleship Training for their very last 9 week semester. After that, I will be attending Pensacola Christian College to major in Business with an Accounting Concentration.
All of that to say, I have absolutely no idea how often I will be able to post anymore. It has been a faithful friend throughout my Junior and Senior years of highschool, but during this summer followed by four years of college, I don’t know what things are going to look like.
None the less, if God decides to continue laying things on my heart to post, things will always be posted. This is something that He started two years ago and has been sustaining ever since, so whether it continues consistently or not is completely up to Him.
Really though, whether I write about it or not, God’s plans will move mountains, and I cannot wait to move forward in this endless frontier.
This is a new era, and it’s definitely the better.
Where it happens, or should I say, “happened.”
