Any Second

     I've been super busy lately with this condensed class, leading an ELMS,  preparing for Japan... But right now, I'm just listening to music and writing.  

     I'm sitting here realizing how not stressed out I am. I don't say that much; I kind of thrive on stress. But right now, I'm peaceful. It's kinda nice. I don't know what God's planned for me. I don't know where He'll lead me next. I love the adventure of it :) Never a dull moment.

     I've come to the age where people start expecting you to know what comes next. They ask you that question in lots of different forms: "So where are you going to college?" "Who are you dating?" "Where are you working this summer?" I understand those questions. I ask those questions! I find them hard to answer, but then I remember it's just really simple.

     I am living each day with eyes wide open for God and His plan. Recently in my life I've seen once again that when the time is right, God will open doors you never even saw and drop exactly what you need right into your hands. Sometimes I forget He can do that.

      For the last couple months God has just been reminding me, in more ways that one, that He's got it all under control. It's funny; when I have the least idea of what's going on, God's plan becomes so clear. So what is there to worry about? The future is in God's hands and He had plans to prosper me, not to harm me.

      So I'm happy. I happy with right now. I'm grateful for today! I'm really excited... I'm excited to see what He'll do in my life. And not my in-60-years-from-now-when-I'm-retired life, I mean my life like today, tommorrow, this year.

      I expect God in the long term. Why don't I expect to find Him in the short term? hmmm... I don't know :) But that's okay. He's teaching me.

He's teaching me that He is everything that I need and more than I could ever have hoped for.

     I'd imagine that just before a wave breaks there is a moment of tension where the water turns faster and faster, just building towards that moment. The moment when the effort pays off and something beautiful appears. There's nothing stopping it.

Something big is about to happen. Maybe it's already happening...  

I feel it coming like a wave that will break any second.

     But while I wait for You, I'm not worried or rushed. I know that in Your timing it will all be just as planned. I'm peaceful because I know There is something on the way, and it will be great.

"Peace I leave with you; My peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid."
John 14:27
