1 week away graduate


I am stressed, or at least I think I am. Wierd thing is I am not anxious, just stressed. I am graduating in less than a week! I should be crazy by now looking for a job and a place to live but I'm not. I've put everything in God's hands and I tend to stop worrying. I just keep thinking- God is my refuge. The lovely and brillant Rachel from church was able to help me figure out who God is to me. This led me to Psalm 73. No matter what God will be there. Oddly I've actually thought about moving to Puerto Rico. Especially after reading a speech I wrote at the end of my freshmen year in high school I am wondering if missions is what God wants me to do. But at the same time I have a gift when it comes to Autism and developmental disabilities. . . I can relate to the kids, I can help the parents, and I have the patience it takes. I've basically told God it is all His- I have made no plans on my own. This kind of cares me but at the same time I have a sense of comfort, a sense of refuge. For the first time in my entire life I am saying "I don't know" and not freaking out. Do you know how good that feels?
And don't get me started on boys. I've been trying to think what opportunities I will have meeting men in certain jobs and then I thought "wait a minute, I need to do what God wants me to do right now and He will bring me the right person." Since December 3rd my life has been so different when it comes to guys. I made a promise with God that I will wait until I am married and God will bring me the right person and the strength to fight temptation. I am done having my heart broken and putting too much into relationships. I love being with a guy, I love cuddling, I love making out. . . but the reality is I can wait for God to send me a person instead of serial dating if I know my heart will not be completely broken. I am actually thinking about a tattoo in memory of Jason Ray (my friend and the Ramses who died) pictured above. I would change the initials in the stitching to JR or JKR.
Well I think that is a pretty open and honest post for my first post. More will follow!
