My last year at Kennesaw State University starts in two weeks. I really cannot believe it is my senior year of college. Where did all of the time go? Oh yeah... hours and hours of studying along side hours and hours of creating new friendships with wonderful friends. Some of these friends have graduated this year and will move on to bigger and better things this fall. One friend is moving to Colorado, another is going to Bosnia for missions, and still another is moving to Columbus, GA. It is times like these that I dread change, for change is always first perceived as loss. Sometimes, it is loss. But the Lord works in change. He has made room for us to see what He is doing by removing the everyday mundane in which we have grown so accustomed. Though I will sorely miss my dear friends, when we see each other again, the reunion will be all the more sweet.
I have many changes to consider myself. I will (by the grace of God of my passing the GRE) be applying to grad schools this fall. Do I know where I'm going or what I'm doing? No. Do I have inclinations as to what I think the Lord wants me to do? Yes. I must keep trusting that He will reveal what He wants me to do in His own time. Have I mentioned before that His timing is often not my own? Well, it isn't. I want to know now what I'm doing for the rest of my life. He says, "Trust me, child, and wait." So, waiting is what I'm doing. It is not the end the Lord is concerned about but the means in which we arrive there. It is the journey that matters.
So I wait and pray. And in the mean time, do all He has given me to do! (Because it's a LOT of stuff!)
Bring on senior year and let's embark on the journey.
Grace and Peace.
