What's to come...

It's kind of crazy to think about... Where you were about 6 years ago. I was just starting out high school and had a blog on that old fashioned Xanga site. I blogged about boy issues, family issues, what I did for the day, the tests I had study for, and other common teenage interests. I have changed so much since then. Even now, I look at my hands typing away and see a bracelet on my left hand. The bracelet that has been on my wrist since February when I went to Nicaragua. I look out my window and see a gorgeous view of the campus that I never even knew existed six years ago. What is the one thing that hasn't changed? Besides my name? My God being right at my side. He has remained at my side this whole time. My whole existence. It might sound cheesy to some, but it's a companionship that has truly kept me going. The crazy thing is that He's known everything I would do, everywhere I would go, everyone I would meet and the relationships I would form with the people around me...He's known and will always know and He still loves me. No matter how far I may have drifted from time to time. My junior year of high school I loved Him with so much of me. My freshman year of college, I did not love Him any less but I hardly went to church, didn't read the Word, didn't pray, or set aside any time to spend with Him. But He was still there, ready to carry me when I needed Him most. I know now I am basically rambling but I guess the main thing is that wherever He goes, I go.

He brought me to this amazing place in life. My passion for worship has been rekindled, or at least some big huge logs have been tossed into the fire. I can't stop getting excited about how the Lord has gotten me to where I am and where I am going next. All the plans he has for my life. What am I going to end up doing job wise? Where will I end up after I graduate college? A husband? A family? What other countries will He send me to? I know Nicaragua was only the first and I am so excited to see what's next.

Wherever you are in life right now, just take a moment to think on how you got there. I would bet my life savings (which isn't very much, but anyhow...) that you had no idea or intention of getting there so many years ago. Think of all you've accomplished, all the people you have met and loved, the paths your feet have walked, and the paths you've crossed. Now. Think of what's to come.
