Blessed.

"Sometimes I ask the question, 'My Lord is this your will?' It's then I hear you answer me, 'My precious child...be still.'
Sometimes I feel frustrated, cause I think I know what's best. It's then I hear you say to me, 'My busy child...just rest.'
Sometimes I feel so lonely, and I think I'd like a mate. your still small voice gets oh so clear and says, 'My child...please wait.'
'I know the plans I have for you, the wondrous things you'll see; If you can just be patient child, and put your trust in me.
I've plans to draw you closer. I've plans to help you grow. There's so much I know you cannot see, and much you do not know.
But know this child...I love you! You are precious unto me. Before I formed you in the womb, I planned your destiny.
I've something very special I hope for you to learn. The gifts I wish to give to you are gifts you cannot earn. They cam without a pirce tag, but not without a cost; At Calvary, I gave my son, so you would not be lost. Rest child, and do not weary of doing what is good. I promise I'll come back for you, just like I said I would. Your name is written on my palm, I never could forget, therefore do not be discouraged when my answer is...Not Yet."

I found this poem last year on accident and I love it! I often read it to remind myself that I am not in control and that God really does know what is best. I think that sometimes people my age sit and worry about doing God's will and making sure that they are in it. This poem reminds me that I am in God's will if I stay in communication with Him.

I feel like this past week has been very strange. I was in Florida over Easter, and it was amazing! I flew into Ft. Wayne Tuesday night at 10, and as soon as I got back to Huntington I was hit hard with homework and the realization of the real world. As most of you know, lately I have been choosing the social life over the academic life which has forced me into long nights of staying up until 4 a.m. finishing homework. You would all be proud to know that tonight, I have chosen homework over friends haha. Let's see if I can get anything done...

Besides all of that, I have been totally blown away by life recently...in the best of ways. Lindsay and I seriously spent a good ten minutes just laughing about the way our lives our turning out. Never in a million years would I think I would be in the positions or experience what I have. It only shows me that you never ever know what God is going to do in your life, and it simply amazes me how when you think something is impossible, God goes and shows you that it is not impossible for Him. Life truly is beautiful, and friends are truly beautiful and I feel so blessed to be where I am right now.
