Okay, I must have the willpower of a ladybug, because I'm posting instead of studying. : /

But there is so much change happening. Since when does life change so fast?! So and so's engaged (I'm pretty sure the count FOR THIS WEEK is 2-3ish), and that person's graduating, and he's moving, and...

Sometimes I just want to stop time. To enjoy just a few more moments of the way things are right now. But now's already going.

Yet some of it is so beautiful. Like when you have good anticipations about going somewhere new. Or meeting someone.

Other times I wish I had a chrystal ball and could see what would happen if I chose options A, B, or C. So many of these very permanent decisions we're all making at such young ages make me get this way. Like decisions about the M-word (ma--iage).

Yet some of those seemingly "permanent" decisions might not be so permanent as one might think, and in most cases it would be very hard to choose an option that would absolutely devastate your life. Or even make it half bad. In fact, things might work out really great, regardless of what option you chose. I guess that's part of growing up--learning to deal with uncertainties and change. In fact, learning to live with them daily. And the best you make of them is all up to you.

growing up is hard to do... it's cliche, but true.

and remember, if you trust in the Lord... don't be afraid to make decisions. He'll open doors, but you have to walk through them... and if you're about to walk through one that could devastate your life, he'll slam it shut (or put people in your life... His word and guidance in your life to redirect your path).

and if you do somehow make a wrong decision here or there... He'll continue to open new doors to lead you where you're meant to go... that's the beauty of faith. we have faith in where we're going to end up... and in the meantime, we're only called to live.
