So as of late I've been getting owned up. Not just owned up, but owned up to the MAX! It's crazy to see that January is pretty much over and that February is right around the corner, I mean where has the time gone? I can remember celebrating the coming of the new year as if it was last night, but in reality its already the 30th of January meaning 29 days have gone by since then. Wow seriously time flies by so quickly, I remember when I was left with a month in a half of break left and now I'm anticipating the start of the spring semester in two weeks.
I can recall telling myself that I would use every single of day of my break to the fullest. No matter what I planned on doing, I would glorify God through it and that alone would assure that I didn't waste any of my time. But now in retrospect it doesn't seem like I've done exactly that. My plans were to visit colleges in the month of January, what colleges have I visited? NONE. In one way or another things didn't workout, so the opportunity to see people and visit them at their respected colleges never happened.
Update 2/15/11: And everything I planned to do throughout my two month long winter break failed in someway or another. God's been showing me that things don't always goes as planned. When I planned things out with friends and try to control the future, surely enough God owned me up and it ended up not going the way I wanted it to. But by his grace, God showed me that I can't control every aspect of my life. Through events and through friends, he continues to teach and remind me that I have to let go and to let him work in my life. And everyday is a struggle, each unique in it's own way. But through every grueling day I am guided towards the right path that God provides for me. Some days I wander off that path and go left when God points and tells me to go right. Other days I go the way that God directs me; but regardless of which path I take the end result is always the same. I always see God standing there with his arms open wide and waiting for me at the end of my path.
Getting owned sucks, but in the end its all worth it.
