The Road Goes Ever On and On....

Hey All! It's been a while...

I have been so blessed since my last blog post. People have been becoming parts of my life that I can't even understand. My best friend and I have now known each other for 18 years and 1 day. :) I love her so much. Someone I met on my missions trip has changed most of my perspective of myself, and my housemates are an awesome blessing in and of themselves. 

However evident God's grace is, I've still been struggling with some things the past few weeks and thought about writing a blog post, but never got around to it. I plan to because once my homework gets in  full swing, I shall not have time to write. Anyway, even with all that is currently going on in my life, I really have been trying to refocus. I don't feel like displaying my entire history all over the internet, so I won't go into details but I really should have been writing more then I have been for my own feelings sake. 

Right now I have to admit (and I thought about it last night for a while, too) but I am trying to find out what God wants for me. Kinda silly I know. I just have been really wondering. I mean here I am 2500 miles away from home, and I am at my first choice of college and so confused.  Before I came out here I had all of these goals, and some of them have been twisted and a couple blew up in my face. This has been happening since the car accident, and I have now decided to coin the phrase as "Delicious Irony" but I am getting rather sick of it. God seems to like scattering my life with it. Oh well, it keeps it interesting. I guess. 

I just reread that and realized that what I really need to do is focus. Not on my stupid goals, or whatever I thought I was going to do here,  I just need to remember that I have a purpose here and that main purpose is to fall more in love with my Father. Not to figure out my whole life. The path I am on currently is the right one, and I know it beyond a shadow of a doubt. And for heaven's sake I'm 18 years old! Do I honestly NEED to know EXACTLY where my life is going?????

I didn't think so either.

The verse for Jeremiah 29:11 keeps coming to mind; 

"For I know the Plans I have for you," Says the Lord "Plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future."

But wait there's more!

~Jeremiah 29:12-13

"Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all of your heart."

~Psalms 33:11

But the plans of the LORD stand firm forever, the purposes of his heart through all generations.

~Proverbs 16:3

Commit to the LORD whatever you do, and your plans will succeed.

And the list goes on, and on and on. So in other words no matter what I plan, it's not my place to worry about. I have to seek God and commit myself to him. If only that was as easy as sitting here saying so. Hmm. 

Well I hope I've given you something to think about as well. 

Katydid out.
