Life is good.
Ello blog world!
It has certainly been a while.
Life lately, has been uber busy! Between school, work, and coaching, I haven't had much time for anything...icluding blogging. With the end of the semester only weeks away, my stress level only grows. May 5th can't come soon enough, for on that day my 4 months of freedom will begin! And for that I am SO EXCITED!
It's crazy to believe I'm finishing up my third year of college, it feels like only yesterday I walked across the stage to receive my diploma. Where does time go?
I have to say I saw my life as being a lot different when I pictured it that night in the Ag center. I figured by now I'd be planning a wedding, preparing to student teach, and definitely not residing in Okeechobee. Obviously I wasn't even close to the reality I would be living, and that's perfectly ok. Had you told me that night that nothing I had planned was going to work out the way I thought, I would have wanted to punch you. Today, I would probably hug you. :) It's amazing how our mindset's change as we grow up. Though time has gone quickly, and part of me still feels 17, there's another part of me that feels so far removed from high school and who I was then. I see the world completely differently.
Bottom line, things never happen as we plan them. The last few weeks I've been in a weird mood, I couldn't decide whether I was happy or not about my current state of being. But it's hit me, it's not about being "happy" for happiness is a fleeting feeling. It's about the Joy that I have and can claim every day through my Jesus. Regardless of if I'm living out the life I thought I wanted, I'm redeemed by the God of the universe and that's all that matters. All the other stuff will come in his time, not mine, when and if he chooses to bless me with those certain things I think I'm entitled to. Because the thing is, I'm entitled to nothing. The fact that Jesus wants to have a relationship with me is more than enough to get me through this life.
I've come to the conclusion that no matter my state of being, God is still God. As hard as it is to see others around me doing what I think I should be doing now, from graduating to getting married, I know that God's timing is the right timing. And regardless of what is to come I've got a God to lean on and trust in.
