Bethany's Blessings-New School Year

i have always been delighted at a prospect of a new day, a fresh try, one more start with perhaps a big of magic waiting somewhere behind the morning. ~Joseph Priestly

love Jesus,

serve Him above all else)

A week ago our team got back from retreat which kicked off National Convention Prep. Yeah, no kidding! We can't believe it ourselves...convention is in t-minus 56 days! Over the last 10 months we have had too many laughs, inside jokes, and memories created with you---how we love reliving some of these stories! But we realize that as we're preparing for the BIG celebration of the year most of you are starting a new year of school with a new class schedule, new chapter officers, and maybe even a new advisor.

A good friend passed this on to me-i think it sums up some of the new freedom that we find each new school year. Most importantly, it holds the reminder to be 100% ourselves.

Fresh Start

Here marks a fresh start

a new freedom for my heart

My chance at being me,

doing what I want, totally free.

And it won't be a big deal.

It's nothing like I thought,

I survived the battles I fought.

My thoughts are all gone,

like the night at down.

My soul is free of sorrow,

I'll do what I want tomorrow.

I can't be held or bound.

I will spread my wings and leave this ground.

Distraction has no control.

My life will no longer be dull.

I will have the power.

I'll pass the highest tower.

Don't try to stop me now,

'Cause you won't know how.

For I will be totally free.

And I'll be one hundred percent me!
