So here we all are enjoying a lovely (and much needed) Thanksgiving break. But after break, the end of the semester is oh so close, and with that my senior year will be halfway done!
Yea holy smokes! It's a crazy thought in that I'll be finishing up my undergraduate education in just 6 months. Talking to friends, we all agree how fast time has gone by and how we can still think back to freshmen year and reminisce as if it was only yesterday.
Since that time, three years ago, I've seen three classes graduate taking away friends and mentors from here to the real world, made countless memories with friends and colleagues, toiled for numerous hours on engineering homework, endured yard after yard in swimming pools, and learned lessons that helped shape who I am today.
Now as much as I love hearing people ask me "What are you gonna do when you graduate? What are your plans?" <insert sarcasm>, I very much have to remind myself not to look forward to what's going to happen. Banking on plans for the future, only prepares you for disappointment. Not that one shouldn't prepare for the future, but keep the result in the Lord's hands. Only He knows what's going to happen in your life, and by trusting Him it'll all work out. I'll admit it's hard. I struggle with this realization all the time, but I write about it to encourage the ones around me (and hopefully clear up that I fully know how hypocritical I am).
As the sands of time keep falling, keep in mind what I just mentioned.
Best of wishes to all of your futures.
And remember "Everything is gonna be alright" :-)
