My Life's Little Adventures: Time

Time

This semester has given me time. I am only taking three classes and I have two jobs sometimes three. I know you maybe asking time... what time??? My earliest class this semester begins at 10:55am. I work tuesdays and thursdays babysitting and on weekends I spend a couple hours working in the dorm front desk. Some times durring the week I'll clean some of the dorm as well. I feel as though I have so much time. How I spend this time though can be challenging. Mornings lately have been a bit of a challenge. I just want to sleep as long as possible and I know I could be waking up early to study or do something productive. The more time I find myself with the more I begin to think and evaluate. I find myself going through a list of senarios of how I can plan my life... where to go... things to do. I have contemplated taking a year off and becoming a missionary. I have also contemplated the could of beens as well.... what would it have been like if I stayed home or what would it have been like if I went to this school or that school ... I find myself thinking too much. BUT..... when I start to worry or start to feel discouraged I read my bible and I try and think how God has blessed me so much already in my life. I can't control what happens in my life all the time, I have choices to make but somethings can't be changed. The way my family is can be complicated but I wouldn't choose a differnt one ever! I have learned so many valuable lessons through my family and their struggles that it has made me who I am today. God has blessed me with such a diverse family. It seems as though no matter what decision I make in my life God is right there with me when I make them. Some times my decisions can lead to pain but somehow God makes the best out of every situation. My life today would not be the same if I did not know Him. I have peace that I would not have otherwise. I have a love that beats all other love. I wish everyone could know how great God's love is, how He can make you feel like royalty when this world makes you feel like dirt. I know one thing for sure I want to make my time more devoted to showing people God's love. If you just forget religion and all the rules for a moment and realize the love that God has for you, it can change your whole world around. This is what I feel God wants from me lately. To take my time and share His love to others.

Dear Adrianna God never leads His children other then they would choose to be lead if they could see the end from the beginning. Love Faith

PS While Cary was eating his breakfast this morning he was reminded of a little act of kindness shown to him, a box of Captain Crunch cereal. XOXO

"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 hope and a future." Jer. 29:11
One of my favorite verses.
He is leading you, girl. Just hang on for the ride.
Love you.

I can highly recommend going as a student missionary - it will give you a whole new perspective on life and God's use for you.
