I have exactly 11 more days until I brace the next front of my life. And in this time between finally being done with my freshman year of college (Praise God!) and facing my employment with the Walt Disney Company... I find myself_waiting_. ______-_____-_____-____-_____-____-
I don't know why I just put those signs. But I thought they would represent what is going on in my life. Pretty much... nothing. Which stinks! But at the same time that the "nothing" seems to be happening.. something much deeper and respectful is also happening. God is working through me. And can I just start off by saying how wonderful it is to have Him as my one & only source of communication? I spend about 18 hours of my day within the span of these four walls. Trapped. Developing the virtue of patience. While the other hours of my day consist of being a domesticated son (this entails picking up the kids, cleaning the house, doing the laundry, taking out the trash, making meals, etc.). It is so not me guys. It really isn't.. but I CAN respect His plan in this period of my life.
The good Lord is teaching me to become humble with my life, even with the presence of friends & opportunities gone in my life. And I can really respect that because at the end of the day, having that type of discipline in ones life will pay off. I don't need to have anything but Him... and that's enough.
Okay, maybe I'm not making my point very clearly... but do you understand the gist of what I'm saying? He is strengthening me to be joyful with my life, even with the presence of what sometimes matters the most (events in life & social communication) gone. It really sucks sometimes.. well a lot of the time. And even with this time I've been given, I'm making use of it. I am able to work on myself & my relationship with God before I receive the wonderful gift awaiting me.
Regardless, I'm almost there. Next week is my last week in Georgia for the rest of this year. It's really weird when I think about it. But it's all good. I'm enjoying the thrill that this new journey is already putting in my life. Praise God.
Continue to stay strong & examine your own life and question where He is working next. Amen!
