Rambling
It has been quite some time, wouldn't you say?
I'm certain no one reads this. And I'm absolutely fine with that.
So allow me to vent.
I've never been more frustrated with people and more in love with God. I was certain I could not be frustrated with people without being frustrated with God but my current life has proved quite the opposite. I'm over high school. Specifically the drama that it entails. I'm over trying to plan dinner with someone and that someone constantly having something else seemingly more important to do. I'm over fake friendships.
But I am so in love with my Creator. I know the Bible says that you cannot hate man and love God (at least I'm certain I've read that before), and it's not that I hate anyone, but I think God uses such situations (previously mentioned) to draw us away from the finite things of this world. None of those friendships are going to get me to Heaven and none of them made a way for me to get to my Savior. They are important. Nothing takes the place of true friendship. But true friendship comes from a relationship with God. Everything comes from a relationship with God. Everything thats good at least.
And college. This is the first time I can honestly say I haven't the slightest idea what I'm doing with my life post-high school. Its funny how I'm so ready to be done, but I have no idea what to do after I'm done. It's like doing nothing very fast.
Life is busy. Sometimes I feel like I can't catch up. Everything moves so quickly. I've learned that I'm not satisfied with going from one worship event or prayer meeting to another worship event or prayer meeting if I can't just be still before God.
Be still.
What a concept.
I'm not who I was a year ago. I'm not even the same person I was yesterday, but for a few reasons I was thinking about my life a year ago and I can't imagine being that girl now. So much has changed in 365 days. My life has changed. My friends have changed. But God has not. How comforting.
I'm blessed beyond measure.

I was thinking maybe I
should let you know
that I am not the same
but I never did forget your name.
