The Many Questions Going Through My Wandering Mind

This post is going to be ALL OVER THE PLACE...As I sit at my desk tonight I'm filled with questions...

• Has it really been four years?
• Is graduation really in 43 days?
• What am I doing after I graduate?
• Will I ever see some of these people again?
• Am I ready for this next step, the real world?

Answers...

• Yes I am a senior in college and will be graduating in 43 days. 
• Although, it doesn't feel like it yes, I have really been at OBU for four years. 
• As for the rest of those questions, I don't have answers but I have some truth...

Even though I have NO CLUE what lies ahead for me after I walk the stage on May 12th, I know that God has a plan for my life. I know this because in Jeremiah 29 verse 11 says 

"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." 

I know that verse is used often but right now that is just something that I can hold on too. The last question on that list was "Am I ready for this next step, the real world?" I feel like I'm clueless but I know that I have been taught well academically, socially, mentally, physically, and spiritually! 

Tonight I attended the dinner for the Senior Class of 2012 at this dinner a very wise man spoke. He told us about how to live a life of courage, honor, and to know when to put the media aside and speak to someone face to face. This man made his first appearance in my life in the fall of 2008, he was my general psychology professor.

After, this dinner I went to a weekly worship service called Refuge. Tonight at refuge the speaker was none other then the incredible Dr. Horne, president of Ouachita. He reminded me that I have a God who loves me unconditionally, a God who suffered a gruesome bloody death so that I may have life. There will always be uncertainties in life but there is the promise of Hope, in the one who paid my price, that I can cling too. Every morning I wake up and thank God for another day to live and glorify Him. I may not know what tomorrow holds but I know that if I live each day to the fullest, honoring my God then nothing else matters.

I do NOT have to walk that stage on May 12th knowing exactly what I am going to do afterwards. All I need to know is that God has a plan and He will reveal it piece by piece in His time, not mine! (:
