weekend wonders

so this weekend i was not looking forward to being somewhat alone. well, they say if you want to make God laugh, make plans. I think God probably chuckled a little at me :) I love to plan. I wouldn't go as far as say I want to control everything but I do like order and having a general idea of what's going to happen. This is really hard to deal with--i mean REALLY hard. Because you know, life is life. it happens. It happens fast and it'll throw ya curve balls all the time. I personally hate those times when I'm in them but when I look back, it turns out that I wouldn't have wanted it any other way. It turned out just the way I wanted it to or better than I had hoped. God has a really funny way of showing us His plan. His timing is perfect- another hard thing to comprehend when you're 20, in college, thinking you're all grown up and can do what ever you want whenever you want. The world makes us think that all the great things in life are instantaneous, but guess what? those things are crap. Those things are the things that fade away. All the money, riches, fortune, fame, popularity, clothes, appearance, etc- it all goes away as quick as it comes. God tells us to store our riches in heaven. I never really knew what that meant and I cant exactly say what I think it means now, but so far I think it means that we need to focus on the long term- like eternal life- not just the immediate. Focus on what can I do to glorify God, not what can God give me or do for me to make my day better. In the end its not the years that make the life but the life in the years. A good friend told me to live for today and live with no regrets. For me that means, don't worry about what tomorrow will bring, and make the decisions that you feel are right (not stupidly of course) but that you won't regret tomorrow. If you go down the wrong path, God will get you where you need to go. Just trust in Him.

goodnight loves.

its been a good weekend.
