What the future holds.

So I'm moving closer and closer towards graduating in December, which means making decisions on where I want to live, and where I want to work. Unfortunately, I'm realizing the full gravity of the situation and don't necessarily like it, but know that it's something I have to deal with. There are some scary things that come along with graduating, because it means starting a new phase in life (as much as I hate to admit it). For me it means that I may not have as much time to write music and play with a band as much as I'm able to now. For others it may mean the start of everything they've been working for over the past four or six (or insert number here __) years. It is slightly terrifying. Not like zombies everywhere terrifying, but enough to shake up your mind a bit. I think it's scary for one real reason: It is sometimes unsettling to see that the decisions you make can alter or change the path your headed down very quickly for better or for worse. Granted, this is something the words "responsibility" and "consequences" have taught us for years, but those words seems to have been reinstated with more power at this point in life for me...which is okay.


I think there is a tendency for us to look at a place we may be going and wonder if we will have success there, or if the right things will come our way (a family, career, wealth, anything). I say that because I have started asking that question myself, and have been realizing at the same time that it is a ridiculous question for me to be asking.

I don't know what the future holds, but I believe it's good because I believe God is good and faithful to those who are faithful. God blesses us in both good and bad situations, no matter where we may go (So why do we worry?). Having Christ as our truth, guide, and focus is what truly matters today. I am becoming increasingly aware of the fact that we are just passersby taking in the view. Sometimes it's good, sometimes it's bad, but the view is there to serve a purpose. And despite what it makes us feel or think, it is important to know and remember that God is with us wherever we go; offering protection, guidance, and grace.
