I haven't blogged in what seems like forever.
I almost deleted my blog, because I was abandoning it.
I don't want to be a blog abandoner.
Well, lets see...last night Grace Prep's class of 2009 graduated. Congrats!
As happy as I am that they will be going off, living a life of their own, learning new things, all that good stuff, it still makes me just a little sad.
Ok...maybe more than just a little.
These four girls are some really close friends of mine. Alix, Kirsten, Lindsey and Rachel. its been an interesting four years together. We've had our up's and down's, but things have always turned out alright.
The fact that they are leaving makes me think about my future. I mean, now that I'm out of school for the summer, you could say that I'm a senior. Or at least a rising senior.
Me? A senior in high school? Whaaaattt?
Weird. I know. I am having trouble believing it.
I'm still unsure of what I'm going to do exactly. I have ideas, dreams, and thoughts about what I could do...but its still all one big confusing mess. And its slightly annoying. But I know thats just how life is sometimes.
I have been reading a lot of verses in the Bible lately that talk about the future, what's to come, and how as long as we trust in Him, thigns will be ok. I know thats true, but I still wish that I could see what's going to happen, where I will be, what I will be doing.
I gave my life to God a while ago. I finally said "I want what You want for me. I know that you have plans for me that will make me happy. I want my life to be the one You want me to live." Now, being the young-unpatient-frustrated-plan making girl that I am, I have at times tried taking my life back into my own hands. But of course, things just get messed up and annoying that way. Life is much better when its in God's hands.
I like...ok, love, drinking coffee and orange juice. Not together! Ew. Every morning I have a cup of one or the other, and I like to use this one mug my mom has. It has these words on it:
"Good morning, this is God! I will be handeling your problems today. I will not need your help-so have a good day. I love you!"
It makes me smile and feel so loved everytime I read it.
Here are some verses that I've read lately. There some of my favorites.
1 Peter 5:7 "Cast all your cares upon Him; for He cares for you."
Jeremiah 29:11 "For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord. "plans to prosper you and not harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."
Proverbs 16:9 "In his heart a man plans his course, but the Lord determines his steps."
Proverbs 20:24 "A man's steps are directed by the Lord, so how can anyone understand his own way?'
Isaiah 30:21 "Whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you, saying, "This is the way. Walk in it."
Ecclesiastes 7:13-14 "Consider what God has done: who can straighten what He has made crooked?. When times are good, be happy. But when times are bad, consider: God ahs made one as well as the other. Therefore, a man cannot discover anything about his future."
