With all of the changes happening in my life recently, I've begun to think about the goals and plans I had for myself before and during my college years. I wasn't really sure about what I wanted to do when I "grew up" and truth be told, I'm still not sure. However, I did have a list of places where I wanted to live and explore--maybe even a few careers I would like to try.
After the passing of my grandmother, I realized through a conversation with my aunt that I've kind of been holding my breath while life happened to me. Rather than be the spontaneous and bubbly person that I really am, I've grown into a hard outer shell just waiting for the next thing to hit me.
I've started to let that breath out and bring in some revitalizing oxygen that I so desperately need. I'm scared to death about some of the things I'm going to attempt, but really, in the end I think it will be worth it. Even if the outcome is not what I would like, I do know that God is in control and that He works all things together for my good--even if I don't agree with Him at the time.
All of this to say, I found this song (This Is Not Goodbye) by the Sidewalk Prophets to be very inspiring and right in line with the changes I am currently trying to make. I hope it inspires you too.

AAAACCCKKK!
I would have never believed it if you had told me--my stomach is actually churning and burbling with anxiety over the outcome of this election. I know everything is in God's hands, but what if His will isn't the same as mine?
While I'm all for CHANGE (remember, I'm the girl that moved half-way across the country to "try" a job for a year), I'm not really liking the idea of Socialism. Of course, if CHANGE does occur, I guess I should be happy. After all, I could go on a massive shopping spree while maxing out my credit cards (almost enough to match the National Debt), then I could quit my job, and declare bankruptcy. After all, CHANGE is going to take care of me--right? I'd be without a job and homeless, so I could have health care benefits and those people who are "lucky enough" to have a job can take care of my expenses since I will not be able too. Hmmmm....maybe this CHANGE person isn't so bad after all. I wonder if it will work?
Yes, I know--it's a little late to be airing my opinion now, but God and I have been at a cross-roads and He's not budging right now. I guess I'll have to wait and find out with the rest of the world who becomes our next President. Grrrrr....I'll get back to praying.
