TWENTY DAYS!!
What can you do in 20 days?
In the next 20 days I will be giving two presentations (for capstone), taking one last math test and two finals, packing up my belongings, hosting a bridal shower, graduating from the University of Oklahoma and moving on to the next chapter of this thing called life.
I am ready to be done but I do not feel ready for the change.
I think about all the things that will be different and I get excited and nervous at the same time. I do not know what it is going to be like back in Fort Worth, or how long I will be there. I do not know a lot after May 11, 2013. Up until this point in my life I have always known what comes next. I knew after high school I was going to OU, after sophomore year I was going to Project, after Cambodia I had three more semesters left.
But after college is a whole other story. I know where I want to end up but I do not know details. I do not know the journey that I will take to get to the end.
I guess I have never known the journey... If I really think about it when I came to OU I had no idea what would happen over the next four years (which turned into five... something I did not anticipate my freshman year). I could not have even guessed that I would go through some of the ups and downs I have over the last five years, but when you choose a path you do not choose because you know.
I make the choices that I do not because the journey is laid out for me, but because I know who is guiding me along the path. I did not decide to come to OU, spend my summer is Denver or my Christmas break in Cambodia based on what I knew would happen but solely on the fact that I knew it was the next thing the Lord had on my journey.
As I start packing and getting ready to leave Norman in the next 20 days I putting one foot in front of the other on the journey that the Lord continues to have me on.
Jeremiah 29:11 "For I know the plan I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future."
My future is coming in 20 days and I must remember to be excited for this part of the journey because it has been set in place by the one who knows the plans of my life!!!
