Crazy Times...

Well once again I am amazed at how life can go from 0 to 100mph in one day! All of sudden I have trips to plan for and have too many jobs to fit into five days. Just a reminder that not everything can fit into my neat, little box the way I want them to. Though I feel things are out of control at times, I like staying busy and always having somewhere to go. I was filling in my calender last night with things I have to do and places I'm going, and realized just how busy I will be this summer. Seeing my schedule full like that just gives me so much to thanks God for. That I can be unemployed and still have so much to do is amazing. God is blessing me so much right now!

Two years ago, when I graduated high school, I never would have imagined this is where I would be. Not in school and still being able to pursue my dreams. Not everyone has such great opportunities! Everyday I realize just how silly it is for me to feel discontent with where I am in life. How can I feel sorry for myself when I have so much to be thankful for? It's really quite stupid. Each day seems to go by faster and faster, so why sit around watch all the positive things pass me by?

God's timing is amazing. Just as I begin to wonder "how am I going to get by", and poof! God provides just what I need. Whether it's a job, money or even a friend who is feeling the same way, it all happens in perfect timing. His timing. Soon I will, God willing, be serving at church with the youth group. I am hoping to serve more at churh as well as have something to keep me accountable to my walk with Christ. That is one area that is not as strong as it once was. In high school it was so much easier when we had youth group every week, but now life tends to take over and priorities get rearranged. Please pray that I will be a Godly influence on those whom I will be leading in small groups and be able to hold myself to the same standards I want for them. God works in mysterious ways.
