since then

From an earlier conversation...

(After manually entering my student ID # into the cafeteria computer)
Caf. manager guy- This is not you.
me- Haha yep that's me freshman year.
- I don't believe you.
- Well it's true that was freshman year.
- I don't know I think I need a fingerprint scan.
- haha yeah... good idea. [inwardly rolling my eyes]
- So you're a senior?
- Yep a lot has changed since blond, short hair freshman year.
- haha
- Well, see ya later.

I've had this conversation or others similar to it so many times that it gets boring after the 20th person says that I look sooo different. Well it's true I do look different and not only that, but I am different. More has changed than my hairstyle during my years at Vanguard. I'm glad I'm not the same person I was freshman year. A friend and I were talking about how much we've changed since high school and she said to me, "Jenny, I dance on that grave every day."

I feel the same way. Thank you God that we change and grow up.

"But whenever anyone turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away. Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. And we, who with unveiled faces all reflect the Lord's glory, are being transformed into his likeness with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit." -2 Cor. 3:16-18
