I was talking to my friend maria online this morning and we were talking about our lives, responsibilities, marriage and all of that, and it made me think of this one day after we graduated from high school and we drove by northern, where she graduated from and she says, "just think of it care, we're alumni!" and that felt so monumental and important- and it was, but we imagined ourselves so adult, and that wed never have to worry about curfews and part time jobs, and that the rest of our lives would be a piece of cake. and now its 4 years later. Has my post high school life turned out how i planned it would? No! Do i think that God had a better plan for me than I could have planned out? Yes! That should give me peace about the future at times like right now when i have important decisions to make and things in my future that are unclear, but does it. Not always. I can see my life as a puzzle and i can see some of the pieces coming in to place, but others aren't even flipped over yet, and im sure that some of the pieces wont be put into place until im old and retired or The Second Coming happens. Okay- i have a truly random thought to hurt your brain- If Jesus returns tomorrow, are all the areas where we saw his leading us in the future- as in my uncle oing to the mission field in years, was that God's leading even though it couldn't happen? or is it just us? Or would God still give us desires and leadings even if He is planning on the Big Hello coming soon? Errrrrrrg- that is the sound of my puny temporal brain trying to comprehend things that are infinite.
