Reunion

I've always been one of those people who are afraid of change. I've always thought that if things stayed the same, then things would stay fine. But, when I went to college, I learned that change is inevitable and that it can be good. I learned that if you stay stuck in your ways, it can lead to some pretty miserable times. There is always that fear of the unknown, but knowing that God is in control and that he is going to take care of everything makes that fear go away. Things may be difficult, or they may be easy squeezy lemon peezy, but God is always in control.

 One thing I've always wanted to do is live in my hometown of Opelika when I get older and out of college. I've always loved living here and I just feel like it's a great place to be. But I know, that God may have other plans and that's cool with me now. After watching my two best friends get married this past weekend, I learned that I don't have to stay here and fulfill what I want. Where would that get me?  I can go wherever God leads me and as long as I can serve him, that is enough. Making new friends, and reuniting with old friends and people I haven't seen in a long time reminds me that it doesn't matter where any of us go. We always have this home that reunites us. We have our friends that reunite us.

                  

As for now, I have maybe one year of college left and I plan to make the most of every opportunity given to me. Beginning now, things change for the better. No more "what do I want?" but "where is He leading me?"
Maybe this makes sense to you, maybe it doesn't. Either way, you know what's up. So ask me how I'm doing with this new perspective. It'll keep me in check. Preesh.


Secrest out.
