As a freelance writer for Rodeo News Magazine, I ask people this question often. I always tell them it's alright if they want to stop and think about it for a minute. And now I realize a minute is not nearly long enough. How do I boil down 27 years of life into one single moment when I was proud of myself? It's impossible really, but for the sake of this post I'll choose two very distantly different moments in time. I don't think it's cheating to choose two since since both are moments that I'm equally proud of, but in very different ways. It makes sense if you don't think about it.
01 - To get me started I asked Kennedy what his proudest moment in life is and he definitely cheated. He said it was when he found out he was going to pilot training and becoming a dad. Those two things just so happened to be within two days of each other. For the rest of his life, he doesn't have to choose what made him more proud: his career shooting forward or finding out he would be dad. Totally unfair if you ask me. And as it turns out, he really didn't help me at all in writing this post.
I think my first proudest moment was when I decided to go to school at Oklahoma State University. I always I knew I wanted to go out-of-state for college, but the actual destination wasn't nailed down until about this time in 2012. It was completely against the grain to leave the state of Nebraska after high school, and maybe that's exactly why I had to do it. Moving to Stillwater was the single scariest moment of my life, even to this day. I was going to be 400+ miles away from everything I previously held dear and familiar. But it also set in a motion a chain of events that lead me here. It's definitely been the most second most life changing decision.
02 - The most life changing decision is also one of my proudest moments. I could easily say it was when I asked Jesus into my heart, but I was probably about 8 when I did that and it just doesn't have the same effect as when I made him Lord over my life. There's a big difference between having Jesus as Savior and giving him complete ownership of everything. It's been almost 2 years since I made that decision and a lot of life has happened in between. I can say it's been the single most important decision because it is eternal.
