Breathe

   I'm graduating this spring in 16 days with my Associates of General Studies, with more Early childhood, and English classes than you'd care to count. With all that being said I have to actually figure out what I want to do with my life. There have been a lot of ideas floating around in my mind... Though none seem like they actually fit. All of them were ideas that other people had come up with, and not me. There is one that still remains prominent in my mind, I'm not really sure yet.

So, what do you do when you're not sure? When the road starts to turn and twist and you can't see past the next bend? What do you do...

   I'll tell you what I did: I had a major meltdown. Like crying, blubbering, and refusing to do anything but eat chocolate and drink diet coke. Pathetic, right? Coming out of said meltdown with tears plopping in large puddles on the pages of my bible I came across this verse:

"We wait in hope for the LORD; he is our help and our shield. In him our hearts rejoice, for we trust in his holy name, May your unfailing love rest upon us, O LORD even as we put out hope in you." Psalms 33:20-22

"In Him our hearts rejoice, for we trust in His holy name..."

Trust.

So what can one do when everything comes crashing down and you find yourself in a major meltdown?

We trust in the Creator.

   Who else other than God knows of our past, present, and future? Who else other than God can take our lives and shape them into something absolutely beautiful? He takes sinners and transforms them into His people. He takes broken hearts and mends them back together with so much love that it takes your breath away. Trusting in Him is exactly what we should do, and is the only thing that we can do...

    The things of this world will pass away, the money, fame, jobs, and labels, but God will remain. He's constant and real. Always there in our messed up life.
