Things in life sometimes just don’t go as we expect them to
be. Sometimes, no matter how much we try to make things work, they just don’t
happen as we want them to. It’s just like all the times that we procrastinate
because we believe we have time to do all our work but then we realize that we
really don’t have any time at all. Or like the times when we have studied for
days for a HUGE test that’s coming and we drink 5 cups of coffee a day just to
stay wake in class because we were up studying late and then when we finally
get the test back we realize that we didn't do as well as we thought we would.
Yeah. It sucks. Been there, done that.
All of these things happen all the time and honestly,
sometimes your days are so BAD that you can swear that the universe is against
you. Don’t worry, it’s really not against you. It’s just life.
For us, life is always going to be unexpected. We can never
guess what’s going to happen tomorrow in our lives. We can be rich one day and
then be poor the next. We can be passing our senior year one day but then be
failing 6 of our 9 classes the next. We can just never guess accurately what is
going to happen.
Fortunately, we do know someone that knows EXACTLY what’s
going on, not just tomorrow, but 10 years later or 20 years later.
God.
It’s really neat to know someone that knows your future,
exactly how it’s going to happen. Plus the fact that you can trust Him to guide
us to fulfill that wonderful future He has for us is even better! You have NO
IDEA how much pressure I have been put into about college and my career. There
was a point in my life that I honestly did not know what to do with the rest of
my life and it’s a big deal, but I was so lost.
Until I surrendered that part of my life completely to God.
When we surrender those areas of our lives that
we worry about so much about we feel this inner peace and tranquility, a kind
of serenity that comes from knowing that God is in COMPLETE control and he will
take care of our future. And it’s going to be more than we ever expected.
