Reflections on my reflection blogs

Well, today I read some of the older posts on my blog. I thought that I would reflect on my reflections to see how things have changed over several years.

Lots of apologies for not blogging. Eventually, I think I just gave up on the apologies for no blogs.

"Lately I've realized that in seven weeks I will be halfway through college. How scary is that?" -> Try all the way through graduate school.

The entirety of http://rschen7754.blogspot.com/2010/06/relationships-with-girls-or-lack.html - well goodness, while having a girlfriend would be nice, it wasn't *that* horrible to not have one.

"I am amazed and in awe that God still uses me in spite of my failures to accomplish His purposes." +1

"This quarter I took ... a class on logic design, and its associated lab. This course proved to be more difficult than others that I had taken." -> oh you haven't seen anything yet...

"Following this was more chaos, ending in a week with three days of going nocturnal." -> Just have about 2-3 more weeks of those left in your college career...

"Yes, my plan to finish the Bible in four years may turn into a five-year plan." -> Six years and counting...

"Governor - Meg Whitman

Lt Gov - Abel Maldonado

Senator - Carly Fiorina"

Who are these people again?

"Over 450 road articles have been designated as “good” articles as well." -> try over 900...

"But it's [Parks and Recreation] still a good show to watch, and I watched all of the three seasons of the show this summer." -> Can't believe it's ending next year, after 7 seasons.

Lots of "this was the hardest quarter ever". Really, I needed to trust God so much more, because in the last few years (since 2012) I went through some even crazier stuff, and my worrying pre-2012 was quite wasted.

In the end? Yeah, I read through several blogs that I probably would not have written today, at least not the same way that I did back then. And I did drop a few paragraphs here and there when it was really excessive. But I decided to leave the vast majority of it up. In the end, it is all a testament to how God has changed my life in so many ways, and worked through me, continually transforming me. That is not something that I want to hide from others.
