Plan C
“If I changed the life of one person…just one person…well, okay, one is aiming pretty low. Let’s say I change the lives of five thousand people…ten thousand…okay, five thousand, I’d be satisfied for starts….” -Michael from The Office
My life is but a wrinkle in time.
So I’m nearing the end of my third year of college and I’ve finally made up my mind. Now I know what I’m doing, where I’m going, and what I’m going to attempt to accomplish. I’ve got a plan. I’m going to get a bachelors degree in social work. In some odd way I think it fits me. I guess if you wait long enough the answers will come until they do just sit back enjoy the place where your at in life.
Lately I’ve been struggling to do that. I keep wishing my life away. I keep thinking that I can’t wait for this semester to be over. I can’t wait for the summer to be over with (just so I can move onto bigger and better things). I can’t wait till three years down the road from now when I’ll be completely finished with school and have a reliable job with benefits and every weekend off. I can’t wait to have a financially stable job that will allow me to have my own house that I can create and transform to my liking. I can’t wait for forty years down the road when hopefully I’ll have all my loans paid off and I’ll be debt free. I can’t wait to have my own family to take care of someday and I even can’t wait until the time when my parents will need me to take care of them. I can’t wait till I’m sixty five and old enough to retire and sit around the house making ducttape stuff kinda like my Grandma quilts. I definately can’t wait to get old, but I guess in the mean time I should just enjoy the moment and be content with where I’m at because life happens way too fast. I gotta take it one step at a time because you can’t skip steps on the stair way to heaven. It’s just impossible. Every step has a purpose and these steps are in a specific order for a reason. Some people have steeper steps than others and sometimes there’s railings to grab onto, but when the railings aren’t there that’s when I gotta put my trust in God and focus on him and not look down.
Lord, I don’t know where all this is going
Or how it all works out
Lead me to peace that is past understanding
A peace beyond all doubt.
Tip Of The Day:
Go outside!
