Whoa. So busy lately I haven't had much time to think for myself. I have a lot going on this week with tests, a speech, lab practical and paper, school consumes me. But for as much as I am working for school, God is working in me. He is speaking to me and teaching me new things every day. Lately I've had my mind on the future a lot and what will happen after graduation. I registered yesterday and that always brings a different brand of anxiety that doesn't seem to change even after doing it so many times. Thankfully, I got most of the classes I wanted and a schedule that is pretty close to perfect for me. But having to plan my classes and all that screamed to me, whoa! You only have three semesters left! (Hopefully) And I think to myself, where has the time gone and how much more quickly will this next year and a half pass? Am I ready for it to be over? What happens if my plans don't work out? Which is when God says, they're not your plans, they're my plans. I cast my cares and worries upon Him because He knows how things are going to work, therefore I believe it's kinda impossible for Him to worry. His control allows us to be guided knowing that what He has planned is what is best for us. As these plans proceed, that's when we will know about them. It is a day by day revelation, not something that He will give us all at one time. This is why we must take up our cross daily following after Him. We have to decide that what He has given us is what we will believe in and pursue. We'll never have all the answers, but we will have faith that what God is doing is shaping us to be all that we can be to give Him the glory.
