The Future

Lately, something that is always on my mind is the future.  For maybe the first time in my life I do not have a plan for more than 6 months from now.  Not to say that I do not plan for my future, it's just that college life is different and I have to take several steps into the unknown before I find out what's next in my future.  This is a really daunting thing for me.  And for the first time in a long time I am starting to feel a lot of peace about the future.  I smile, knowing that God is in control and not me.  And I am thankful for that.

In the near future I have several big things coming up.  I am really excited and I am really nervous!  Specifically, on June 26th I will find out if I have been accepted into the BYU nursing program.  I am working so hard to be accepted and I know that I just need to turn it over to the Lord at this point because I have done nearly all that I can do in my power.  I study all the time for Chem 285 (organic/bio) and anatomy (just finished my final!).

A lot of other things will be happening this summer as well!  Actually, my summer will be starting in about 20 days and I cannot wait hardly any longer.  This semester is really tough, but I am going to make it through stronger :)  On June 27th I will be running my first half marathon as well!  I am running in honor of my Grandpa and who is fighting cancer and in honor of my own fight against Crohn's Disease.  I am also excited to announce that I got the job that I wanted and will soon be trained as a Med Tech!  I am learning right now that there are so many things in life that I wish that I could control but I just can't.  There are simply too many things to keep up with.  Thankfully, it is during these times that we can rely on our faith in God that he will take care of things as long as we strive to do our best.  I saw that recently as he helped me figure out my housing situation for Sophomore year.

I know that God is looking out for me in my life.  It is so evident to me because of everything around me.  And I am so thankful for the peace that I am starting to feel about my future.

Choose faith and not fear when facing the future

It's a lot more enjoyable, trust me :)
