The purpose of USAFA, at least for now

Finally, I think I know why I'm here. It seems that USAFA, for this season (however long that may last), is a place of hardship to learn to trust Him in everything and live moment by moment in His grace. It seems that now is a time to, at least for awhile, focus less on long-term plans than on learning the daily, hourly, minutely lessons that God has for me, as well as learning to live them.

Even the military facades are a blessing in disguise. Because they are so obviously fake and pointless, it's easier to focus on what matters instead of being caught up in this place.

God has provided so much, and I'm excited for the things He'll do in me this semester. I pray only that I would be attentive, teachable, and promptly obedient to what He would have me learn.
