Got to spend time with my favorite person in the world, Justin.
He took the day off of work just to be with me! How considerate, right?
Well randomly I received this phone call from a lady who told me...
"I would like to congratulate you for getting into PLU."
My first college acceptance. I was thrilled. Heart racing. Adrenaline rushing. I wanted to jump up and dance but I had to keep my composure. I was surely excited to surprise my parents...But their faces looked like ghosts. No changes in facial expression. No "good job" or anything. It was the saddest moment of my life. Well... in a long time anyways. At that moment I wanted to break down into tears but I couldn't show them my pain. I couldn't let them see me hurt. But Justin was there for me and just encouraged me to keep my head up.
Since I haven't done anything really productive all day... I'm making it up now. Probably staying up pretty late to do some homework. Start on psych paper and study for my a&p exam on Wednesday. I still feel numb. I feel like I'm nothing to my parents. But I know that God is happy for me. It's cause of Him that I am where I am now.
God is good, all the time.
All the time, God is good..
ReplyDeleteAwh Beth. I think they're happy deep down for you, but just have a hard time expressing it.
ReplyDeleteI mean, after this year, you'll be going away afterall. They don't wanna lose you, and that's probably why they didn't have anymore expression than they did. Maybe it was out of fear or hurt; I don't know. Don't be disappointed. We'll throw a party for you at church ;) Hahahahaah.
I agree with Ammy;
ReplyDeleteWe should throw you a party at church! =D
