"Life is uncharted territory. It reveals its story one moment at a time."

Someone wrote this Bible chapter down in a new Bible they got me for my high school graduation. I remember reading it back then and liking it. Then, within the next couple of years, a lot of the verses took on a lot of meaning to me. I read it a lot, and I especially think it is relevant for all of the things happening in my life now. This week so far has been beautiful. I have been able to spend a ton of quality time with my friends and really enjoy campus and these people. Tonight after spending a few hours at a bonfire with tons of great friends, I was reminded again of how awesome it is that there are going to be a whole bunch of incredible, smart, and Christian people heading out into the world after Saturday. I looked at these people who I have grown so close to over the past four years and I am really proud of them. I remember when we were just freshmen and not knowing time would go by this fast. Now here we are, about to hit the 'real world,' whatever that means. I know that many of them are nervous, scared to say goodbye, unsure. And some of us know what the next step is. But either way, we are headed into a time of transitioning and waiting to see what that next moment in our story will be. Here is Psalm 27:

The Lord is my ligth and my salvation - whom shall I fear?

The Lord is the stronghold of my life - of whom shall I be afraid?

When evil men advance against me to devour my flesh, when my enemies and my foes attack me, they will stumble and fall.

Though an army besiege me, my heart will not fear;

though war break out against me, evne then will I be confident.

One thing I ask of the Lord, this is what I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, t gaze upon the beauty of the Lord and to seek him in his temple.

For in the day of trouble he will keep me safe in his dwelling;

he will hide me in the shelter of his tabernacle and set me high upon a rock.

Then my head will be exalted above the enemies who surround me; at his tabernacle will I sacrifice with shouts of joy; I will sing and make music to the Lord.

Hear my voice when I call, O Lord; be merciful to me and answer me.

My heart says of you, "Seek his face!" Your face, Lord, I will seek.

Do not hide your face from me, do not turn your servant away in anger; you have been my helper.

Do not reject me or forsake me, O God my savior.

Though my father and mother forsake me, the Lord will receive me.

Teach me your way, O Lord; lead me in a straight path because of my oppressors.

Do not turn me over to the desire of my foes, for false witnesses rise up against me, breathing out violence.

I am still confident of this: I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.

Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord.
