New Feeling in the Air

A leaf gradually falls from a tree in the distance and makes its way to the grass below. It’s the first sign of fall. New scents are in the air and the heat is beginning to fade away… very slowly, but surely. It’s nearly time to bid summer adieu and return to the busy school life. Soon all the leaves will die and consequently glide down from the trees.

I can honestly say this has been the most exciting summer — in my life thus far. It’s had its ups and downs, but overall it has been a really stirring experience that I’ve shared with a great family and some of the best friends anyone could ask for. I cherished every moment, and I’ve taken opportunities and risks that seem too good to be true. I’ve had so many good influences and so much encouragement. Smiles were everywhere. I would have never thought a shy boy like me could do so many things.

I’m ready to take advantage of even more opportunities and risks, with God’s help. I will continue to be homeschooled for this school year. But as for the future, who knows what’s up ahead? Sometimes you’ve got to take a deep breath and hope for the best. Some things are going to be different now — but that’s the beauty of it all. And as for my faith, it has increased immeasurably, and I treasure every second of worship and prayer that I’m involved in. This is home and I’m where I belong. There’s a new feeling in the air and I’m prepared to breathe it in. I’ll see you all very soon!

With regards,

Cameron
