"Life is a journey, not so much to a destination, but a transformation. Looking back, doesn't it feel like our richest times come right in the midst of our hardest? But God made us to live in community, to laugh and to cry. To hurt and to celebrate with each other, no matter what we're going through. And transformation is tough, and we don't always end up where we think we will. But we have to remember, that even when we struggle to believe in Him, He always believes in us. He fills our lives with purpose and passion, if we just let Him. And the best part of the journey, is that the God of the universe, sometimes allows us to play a part in changing the world. Isn't that a trip?" ~Chris Vaughn (To Save A Life)
I can never tell where my life's journey is going. My senior year of high school starts in 3 days, and I don't feel prepared at all. I realized today that I'm gonna have to seriously start looking at colleges. I have to decide on a major that's right for me. It seems as though my life is flashing before my eyes, and I don't know what to do or where to go.
I know that God has big plans for me (Jeremiah 29:11), but I find myself not knowing how to embrace those plans. With everything flying at me at full speed, I have learned to block out/ignore God. That's awful of me, I know, but I can't help it sometimes. Instead of embracing Him, I walk the opposite direction. But, since God is a gentleman, He isn't going to force Himself into my life. That would be why I need to come to my senses and just hit my knees and ask Him for help.
Honestly, I feel like I'm just babbling. But, oh well. The quote I put at the beginning is something that I read often. It has so much meaning, but I just read it like I'm supposed to magically understand it. Kinda like I feel about life. Like I should just be able to instantly understand it. But, either way, I can keep trying.
No matter how stressed out I get, I'm just gonna keep reading that quote, the Bible, and trusting God. Sorry the random babbling in this one. Just had to get my thoughts out.
