UNEXPECTED EXPECTANCIES

          So this isn't entirely where I pictured myself five years ago, or even one year ago for that matter. I thought that by now I would have all of this college stuff down and be in some overseas Harding program. But I've noticed how it's almost ironic that every time I plan out my future elaborately down to the last detail, that everything ends up opposite of the original notations. 


          These things that keep changing from what I expect are almost like big blaring neon signs saying "you idiot. Pay attention to the big picture." God is here, and there, and everywhere even when my plans and schedules are falling apart. 


          I have prayed about it long and hard for almost a year now and I finally opened my eyes enough to see the deliverance God gave me. He gave me a friend. But not just any friend, someone who fully encourages me spiritually. I've always been great friends with anyone who needed companionship. But, for the first time I have someone who holds me accountable to what God wants and then my wishes second. It's so cool! 


          With this change in pace comes the change of venue for the next year of my life. I'm a razorback now, and headed to Fayetteville in the fall. My classes picked and my life in a completely different area than I ever would have picked for myself play out in front of me. It's such a relief to be going somewhere, towards something that can open so many doors.
