Have I mentioned how stinking fast summer has gone by??? It has gone by entirely too quickly, again! It started out kinda slow...and then somewhere along the lines I blinked and now it's practically gone. It makes me sad...very, very sad indeed.
I got to hang out with my two best friends tonight, and (as always) we had a blast. I have not laughed so much in a very long time. It was a much needed night of fun. :) On our way back, we were blaring some awesome country music. Keith Urban's song "Days Go By" came on, and part of it hit me for the first time -
We think about tomorrow, then it slips away
Oh yes it does
We talk about forever, but we've only got today
I've spent SO MUCH of this summer worrying and fretting about the future, because I'm a ridiculous planner and I don't like not knowing what my life looks like in a year and that just kinda freaks me out. But something God has really been teaching me lately is to just take it one day at a time. I need to stop trying to figure out what His entire plan for my life is, I just need to take it one day at a time because we are not promised tomorrow. I have spent a lot of time worrying for no reason! My favorite verse is Jeremiah 29:11
"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."
He promises to take care of me, and He only has the best planned for all of us. He's not going to ask me to do something that He has not prepared me to do - that's something I need to write down and post everywhere so I will see it constantly and stop freaking myself out about it! I'm just happy that God loves me despite who I am at times, especially when I fail to trust Him completely!
