heart.

well...take two...i am attempting to write a blog for the second time, who knows if anyone will read it, but i think i am doing it more for the purpose of getting my thoughts out.

today consisted of many great things. it started with an adventure to retrieve a tree for my family, which by the way was all the way in rochester, but we found the perfect tree so it was so worth it.

then it was off to study...off to get ready for finals. it began at dq with betsy (i dont know why we ever thought we could get anything done there) but we ate, talked and laughed, which was much needed. then we found ourselves at ky's working away at our school stuff. it was great to study in a new place...it always seems to motivate me more (at least until i've been studying all day, then i just want to be done). although there were some distractions it was just great to be there with people i just love to be around.

but once again i find myself at the end of the day and still not done with everything that should be done. as the day comes to an end i find myself reflecting back on every thing i accomplished, everything i failed to finish, and all the fun i had. i find myself wondering what it would of been like if i said no to this or yes to that, if i went here instead of there or did that instead of this. but then i realize that what happened happened and i had fun along the way. sometimes things happen that aren't in our plan, but who ever said that it was OUR plan? isn't it God who has the plan for our life? isn't He the only one that knows what will happen? so i found myself reminded of who God is and that no matter what happens each day, everything will work out "for the good of those who love Him".

from here i found my mind take a totally different turn...i began to think about a conversation i had with another friend of mine about home. some people hate this place (on earth) i call home, but for me home is where the people i love are and here is where they are, so i find myself having nothing but fun when i am here. i love this place, but there are also other places i want to see, places i love, places i've yet to go. so again, my eyes are lifted...lifted to the one and the only...the one that is the only one who can lead me on the right path. so i grab His hand and say "i trust you, lead me in your will".
