Can I commit?

Two years ago, I graduated with Janelle Hoering.
In April, she became Janelle Delagrange.
Next March, she will be Mom.

I don't think that we have ever actually spoken, but we're facebook friends.
And I read her blog sometimes.
Because mrs. delagrange has words.

Janelle is the first person with whom I graduated whose marriage and pregnancy I can respect.
Mostly because it was done in the correct order,
but also because she and her husband believe for the same reasons that I do that there is a correct order for such things.
And because I know that, even though it wasn't necessarily what they had planned, they are trusting God in every step of their journey.

A couple months ago, Janelle started a daily blog.
It was like one of those "Take a picture every day for fifty days" kind of list things.
30 days.


Day 01 – Your current relationship, if single discuss how single life is.
Day 02 – Where you’d like to be in 10 years.Day 03 – Your views on drugs and alcohol.Day 04 – Your views on religion.Day 05 – A time you thought about ending your own life.Day 06 – Write 30 interesting facts about yourself.Day 07 – Your zodiac sign and if you think it fits your personality.Day 08 – A moment you felt the most satisfied with your life.Day 09 – How you hope your future will be like.Day 10 – Discuss your first love.Day 11 – Put your iPod on shuffle and write the first 10 songs that pop up.Day 12 – Bullet your whole day.Day 13 – Somewhere you’d like to move or visit.Day 14 – Your earliest memory.Day 15 – Your favorite Tumblrs.Day 16 – Your views on mainstream music.Day 17 – Your highs and lows of this past year.Day 18 – Your beliefs.Day 19 – Disrespecting your parents.Day 20 – How important you think education is.Day 21 – One of your favorite shows.Day 22 – How have you changed in the past 2 years?Day 23 – Something you’d like to learn.Day 24 – Your favorite movie and what it’s about.Day 25 – Someone who fascinates you and why.Day 26 – What kind of person attracts you.Day 27 – A problem that you have had.Day 28 – Something that you miss.Day 29 – Goals for the next 30 days.Day 30 – Your highs and lows of this month.
I'm going to start this tomorrow. And by the time I'm done, I'll be almost ready to go back to school.
Maybe I'll feel like I accomplished something this summer.
P.S. I just started reading Crazy Love by Francis Chan.
I'm really excited about it.
