Soaking Up Every Moment

As the weeks fly by I become more aware that I will be graduating in less than two months. Graduation pictures have been taken, invitations ordered, and my cap and gown have been picked up. I still don't have a set plan for what I am doing after graduation (other than an excited trip with a fellow graduate) and that is scary. I have always been one to plan (even at times when my health didn't allow it). If I was going to be attending school next semester I would already have my classes picked out and preparing to register for them, but that's not the case. I know that God has a plan for my life after graduation and I have to wait for it to all unfold, but I would love to get a sneak peak.

I am soaking in every moment here at Biola, enjoying my classes and all of the friends I have made. It makes me sad thinking that I won't be running into all of these friendly faces next semester. Who knows maybe I'll find a job at Biola and won't ever have to leave!

One things for sure, I have had an amazing experience at Biola; I have had professors that have made a lasting impression on my life, and have made some lasting friendships that I deeply cherish.

52 more days (including weekends) to soak up as much 'Biola' as I possibly can.

(cheers to achieving something on my "pre-transplant bucket list" - graduating from college)

What will Life bring?

Recently I have been thinking about what God has in store for my life after I graduate in December. What type of career path does he have in mind for me? Is graduate school in my future? Will I stay in California or move across the country? All these questions, and more just like them, continually consume my thoughts throughout the day. 

All I know regarding a future career, is that I want to help people. I am not sure in what capacity I want to do this or what group of people I want to focus on helping. I just know that I want my future job to be one that allows me to impact the world for the glory of God and help people in the process. I pray that God gives me guidance over the next 3 months before I graduate, that gives me a clearer picture of where he would have me serve him and in what capacity.

(Raise your glasses) Here is to the hope that I will have a job lined up after graduation. (Cheers)

It's no surprise that future relationships also consume my thoughts, when I am not thinking about a future job, considering I am about to graduate from college as a single gal. I wonder what God has planned for my life? Is it a life as a single woman, or a life shared with a husband? Is it a life as a devoted mother, or a life devoted to something else? Only God knows what my future holds, I just can't seem to stop thinking about what he might have in store for me.

(Raise your glasses) Here is to knowing that no matter what future relationships I may have, I know that I couldn't plan it any better than God could. (Cheers)
