The past few weeks have been full. Full of homework, classes, obligations, friends, pain, stress, love, phone calls home, disney movies, and -lets be real- sugar. But most of all, they have been full of God. The parts that I love about each of these things is that God is in them. Now, some of you may say that God is not in our pain, but really, He is the one who heals us. God is in our classes, our homework, and obligations because this is His purpose for our "right now," to get us to our future. These are all things I've been thinking about lately. How God puts us on Earth for only a short time but even shorter is the time we spend in one place/in certain circumstances. In my life, I have take for granted the fluidity of life. It is ever changing and moving, and honestly it doesn't care if you want to move with it or not. God has put us here to adapt to our environment, to thrive in the place that He has placed us, much like animals in their habitats. We are constantly adapting to our environment. Don't think that I am saying to conform to this world- because that is exactly the opposite of what I am saying. I am saying that we each have unique purposes God has given us and that in order to fulfill those purposes we must adapt and become content/able to thrive in the conditions He has placed us in. I don't know what this may look like for you, but I know that its a hard reality- we are not put on earth for our own gain or satisfaction. We were put here for the sole purpose of glorifying the Most High, whether it is in Nashville, TN, Los Angeles, or Hong Kong. No matter if we are alone or with others, single or married, old or young. We are HIS.
