OKAY so i've been thinking about this a lot these past couple of days and here's my thought...well i guess it's more of a question: why is everyone so keen on focusing on the future?! it seems now more than ever people are thinking about it and asking about it. maybe it's because i'm finally growing up and paying attention to it more, or perhaps it's just as i see it. future future future.
like maybe it's the future of the world (dun dun DUNNN), or the future for your family, OR the future like what you're going to be when you grow up. ESPECIALLY when you're in high school. i mean really, i think i've been asked that question at least forty times in the past week. crazy? i think so.
"what is your plan after high school?" is absolutely not a bad question...in fact i'd say it's a downright good one! my issue is that it makes me feel like you NEED a plan after high school...yeaaah, i don't have one..
but i know i'm not the only one who doesn't! there's so much to choose from! ...most of them i don't have the coordination skills for but still! i got nooo money, and there are so many, TOO many decisions to make. school, home, family, money....a lot!
i used to get really scared because i thought not knowing this stuff was a bad thing...if you don't know what you want to do for the rest of your life then how do you begin anything at all? scary thoughts...however i have come to the realization that starting from scratch isn't such a bad thing. it's actually exciting!
it's not that i have nowhere to go and nothing to do, but anywhere, everywhere, anything and everything! see? exciting! people say that life is full of possibilities and i suppose mine fits into that too.
that's kind of cool! the future is wideee open. anything could happen...it'll be scary, but why not embrace it? God's going to make it happen anyway, whether you plan for it or not. life is full of wonderful surprises and we get to be a part of it! :D
so let's all have hope. there's so much in store for our future....my thoughts for today!
eh.
" 'For I know the plans I have for you,' declares the Lord, 'plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a FUTURE.' "
Jeremiah 29:11
