Decisions, decisions

I'm not sure what stage you are in your life, but I am currently a sophomore coming upon her junior year. Now, the time for enrollment for junior year has come about, and it is stressing me out way more than it should.

I am absolutely BLESSED to go to a school where my biggest problem is that I have too many classes to take. There are so many opportunities that I have been presented with, and I'm almost glad that that is my issue.

But not really enough.

So far, my entire life I've really had it all planned out. But now I'm not so sure. Also planned out for me where my core classes. I always just took the next level up that I was supposed to. But now the time has come for me to pick my own core classes, and decide how they fit into the rest of my life.

Some days, I like to tell myself that what I do in high school doesn't matter at all. I'll start over my life in college, and figure out things there.  Sometimes, I really actually believe it. But then I consider that that's probably a dangerous assumption.

Some days, I want to throw my hands up in the air and sigh "Do I really have to have a career? How about I just do nothing for the rest of my life? I can sit on my couch with some sweet tea and watch American Idol all day in my adult life."

I'm being serious when I think these things. In fact, I thought them this morning.

To spare you from all the options that I'm thinking about, which I actually wrote out for you, but deleted because it was mind numbingly boring, I'll end with this:

No matter where I go, I know the Lord is with me. And He knows that this time in my life is a difficult one, because not only does he take care of the sparrows and their needs, He takes care of all teenagers, who all tend to be dramatic during the decision making portions of high school. And there are A LOT of them.... A LOT.

Nevertheless, my life is wonderful and exciting and I'm so anxious (in a good way) to see where everything goes. I have a lot of things going for me, and I don't plan on wasting it. :)

Whatever decisions that you may be making in your life right now, I hope that you find strength.




For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Jeremiah 29:11
