Words

Words. Looking at the title you probably thought, "Oh hey, another boring post about something random," or "Oh hey, this post should actually be quite interesting," or probably neither one of those...

Do you remember my previous post about what to do when you're bored? In this post, I just wanted to let you in on a rather fun way to endure a sometimes long and drawn out class, or wherever you may be where you have to sit for long periods of time.
So, to do this you will need: 1) a piece of paper, 2) a hard surface, and 3) a pen, pencil, marker, or crayon.... 
Think of a random word and write it down as your title on the paper. After that, find every single hidden word you can make, from that main word, and write it down.
As an example, I will show you what I did today:

"Faith never knows where it's being led, but it knows and loves the One who is leading." 

-Oswald Chambers

Graduation is coming up a lot sooner than I expected. I can hardly believe I've been in college for two years already... It's gone by fast. I wish it would slow down. One reason being, I have no idea what I want to do with my life. Better yet, I have no idea what God's plan is for my life. Several friends already have a general idea of what they want to do, what God is calling them to do. When people ask what I want to do after graduation, I panic a little, my palms become sweaty, and my heart pounds in my chest. How do I answer them? Can I only say, "I don't know"? That's not the answer people want. But, I don't want to just conjure up some wild idea and use that as my story to please their curiosity. I want give them the truth.

... So, here is the truth:  I don't know what my future holds. But I do know a God who does. Whatever He has planned, that's what I want. His dreams are my dreams. I want to always be in His will, following Him wherever He leads. When He opens a door, I'll go through it; when He closes it, I will wait. That's why I like the quote above by Oswald Chambers. 

That's where I'm at right now.

Shalom :]
