God is in growth....
Yesterday after a day of talking with Tara and then some quality time with Brittany...I sit pondering current situations, past events, and what is in store for the future.
Change is inveitable. And it is how you deal with that change that helps shape you into the person you are...or you are to become. I think back about the change and transistion into college.
I love how things have changed. High school was great -and filled with so many crazy memories, laughs, good friends, great accomplishments, and many lessons....oh and of course, great LJ entries. I didn't think college would be able to compete with the friendships and bonds I had made in West Palm.
I was wrong. I have been so blessed this year. Blessed with friends, opportuntunites, involvement possibilites, and blessed with the ability to change and grow.
I feel that things have changed so much. From the first day I settled in at Jennings 342 with this new girl, who was my complete opposite. Now, I sit typing, talking to her, one of my best friends, online, as I work at the computer help desk, living in a different home with 24 girls. Who would have ever guessed?
And when change occurs - that you don't think is for the better...and you can't see past the present to understand it, I have to remind myself that prospective comes with retrospect. I know that God works for the good of those who love him, and I will always be comforted by Jeremiah 29:11 "For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."
I think that in the midst of everything, no matter how stressed, confused, disapointed, upset, or whatever it may be at the time...you must realize that whatever happens - happens for a reason...and will ultimately fufill a plan of a prosperous future, if you are faithful and patient.
I think that through the various upsets of the year, the cries or disapointments that I have faced, I have grown from each one of them. And it's comforting to be able to look back and think of how much I didn't want that change to happen...and now, how thankful I am for it's occurance.
Things are generally good here. The Cash $$ Crew and friends party on Saturday was fun, and great to see Jessica, D, and Alex Payne! Al danced..wohoo...Sunday was an early morning cake delivery, church, panera, Tara and I cleaned my room - and it's spotless now...Moes, wal-mart, time with D$, run, chill, apt 111 time.
This week is going to be crazy.
patience. maturity. trust in Him.
