All around it's obvious what season is upon us; Christmas! There have been Christmas decorations out since Halloween.Although now that the month of December is really only a matter of day's away,I am very excited. I am ready for the music, the decorations, the cookies and pies, and the presents!
Life is full of surprises. I went from being curious about life and what the future holds, to watching it unfold in front of me. Remember those day's when you were 6 and the idea of becoming an adult seemed so far away? All those dreams looked so far away, that in the mind of a 6 year old, it felt like it was never going to happen. Then that 6 year old blinked, and now adulthood is here. I couldn't wait to grow up. Now I have heard that being grown up isn't all it's cracked up to be. To an extent that is true. I have to work, and pay for things. There are times where it's stressful and you would love nothing better then to go back to being 6 years old again and not have a care in the world. The silly thing about it is that we would go right back to wishing we were adults if we really could go back to being 6 year old.
It's kind of odd to think that I am more then half way done being 20! Yet as the year 2011 comes to a close, this time a year is great time to look back and see how far you come and where you are now. There's something about Christmas that makes me really look at where I have been and then prepare myself for the new adventure that the new year will bring my way. In alot of ways i already have a glimpse of that new year. Yet even as I am writing this it's all new and exciting at the same time. This is the part where I would normally say that it's also a scary and nervous time as well, but there is a verse in Hebrews that takes the scary and nervous part out.
" God had planned something better for us so that only together with us would they be made perfect." Hebrews 11:40
Knowing that God has everything planned out and ready is a comfort. sadly however my sinful nature does seem to come into play when it comes to the future. Though as I am looking into the future from what i can see. I really see God's hand in everything. It can be frustrating when it feels that no body understands where you are coming from though. I really wish that i could just let people have an inside view of my heart and let them see that I really know what I'm doing. I'm not rushing, I'm not going to slow. When i see where and how things in my life had played out and how much God is in it. It does make sense to me. yeah it is nice to have people understand, but some day they'll see it for them selves. I just have to keep moving forward and not get freaked when there is no one that understands what I see.
It's all going to make sense within time. =)
Don't you love mystery??
