Pretty Great

Well, this will no doubtly be a shorter entry because I am sleepy. However, my mind is full of thoughts so I feel inspired to write. I am thinking a lot about graduation and the more I think about it, the more I think about the months that will follow graduation and the transition from school to the real world. I am seriously considering going away for a month or two after I graduate to travel. I want to see how Kenya goes this summer, and if well, I might inquire on staying there for a longer period of time to help out wherever I can. We will see. It is a long time yet. I have my fears because it would be hard to leave home for that long and then there is Nathanael. It is hard for me to go a day without seeing him, much less two months! But again, if God wants me to go than everything will be just fine. But really, it is a couple of months away...and by couple...I really mean about 6 to 7 months...so I have time. And I also need to focus on what God has me doing right now. I can't spend all my time looking to the future because He has me in the present for a reason. It is so hard to do that though! Also, Nathanael and I are already extremely close, and our relationship will only be stronger by then (IF, big IF I do travel), therefore; although hard, it will be easier because there will be more trust and faith in our relationship. Also, if we stay focused on the Lord and what He wants for us, we will be okay. It is so key to focus on Him and not on things or people in life because if we spend all our time focused on certian events or individuals, we tend to miss what God is doing and so often He has to painfully bring us back to Him. Again, again and again. It's just lovely how stubborn we are, isn't it? Anyway, I am praying about it because it has only been on my heart very recently. Who knows what will happen, maybe my two month trip will only be a week long trip, or perhaps He wants me to wait for a couple of years before going. I really don't know, it is all just a thought. I will pray. He will show me. And, in conclusion, I can sleep well and have peace knowing that He will answer my prayers.

~ God Bless.
