The future...
That's a word that has been rattling around in my head a lot lately. The future... It's so exciting, yet intimidating. It's the great journey that my mighty God has layed out for me, but it's also the darkest of roads. As I get ready to start an entire new section of my life filled with life, love, school, and the "future" I have been planning for all my life, it's...A weird sensation. It's like skydiving for your first time... It's a rush, and exciting... But before you have done it, your scared out of your wits about it. In all of this, I am trying to rely on God to help me get through my progression into adulthood with ease...But I know it won't be simple. As all of my friends are starting to go away to the schools of their choice, I can only wonder how my friendship with them will continue. I hope all the bonds I have grown to have will stay. I know there will be some friends who will stick through it all, as they are the people I fully trust and rely on for support, but I just hope the strength of our frienships will stick through... No matter where life brings us. As for love, I hope that whoever God puts me with, will be a firm guidence in this journey.
As I look upon this journey, all I can think now is of the character Christian in the book Pilgrims Progress. As he faced turmoil and turmoil, the thought of the end helped him get through. And because of it, when he got to the Celestial City, he was accepted with much rejoicing. In my journey that I am hoping to be like Christian. Knowing that no matter the struggles that I go through will be fully worth it in my end when I get to see my heavenly Father. But still, as I am beginning the last major journey of my life, it scares me... It's so...Untravelled and different. In Ecclesiastes 8:7 it says: Since no man knows the future, who can tell him what is to come? What I pray is that even if I don't know the future, I will still have the strength to fully rely on God to get me through whatever I do... This is a prayer that I have for me and all of my friends. I guess my final words are to just be faithful, and true to God, and the future will be whatever His will is for you. As I think about this future, I can only hope my prayer will be the same as this: Psalms 25:2, In you I trust, O my God. Do not let me be put to shame, nor let my enemies triumph over me.
