We didn’t have skit group today. We didn’t have singing practice either. I stayed home all day. A lot happened. Too much to explain. I’m happy right now. Really happy. So happy it’s scary.
Today I got up around nine o’clock. I took a shower, moused my hair, and then watched some TV. Jonathan called. Everyone left to go wherever they went.
I was alone.
A whole Saturday. A whole house. All to myself.
What did I do?
Actually, I don’t really know. I wrote a little while listening to The Phantom of the Opera. I watched some more TV and then I prayed in the spirit for a while. I played the Power of One soundtrack super loud and danced to the music in the kitchen. I practiced my monologues for my college audition and tonight I watched four hours of TV in a row. I haven’t done that in a long time. I watched Star Trek: The Next Generation, Baywatch, and the movie Mermaids. Mermaids was really good.
But you know what? Things are going to be okay. I got a letter from Emily yesterday and in it she wrote a poem for me:
Today I saw an eagle flying
Crying out to you and me
Wondering who is free
Asking who might be…
An eagle
Making his dreams come true
Fly, eagle, fly!
Though this world may have no hope
His dreams can keep him free
Like an eagle
Making his dreams come true
Be an eagle, Jacob
Be an eagle.
Everything is going to be fine. My dreams will come true. I will write. I will make movies. And I will find that right girl out there in the world. Whether she lives in Florida, North Carolina, or somewhere else; I will find her.
I dare you to keep reading. By the loving grace and blessings of God, my dreams will come true.
