New Beginnings

As some of you may know, I've been trying to start a blog for some time now. Well, I guess you could say I "start" a blog but can never quite continue it. Mostly because I feel like my life is always changing. I start a blog relating to current life experiences and then things change, life changes, movement occurs, and all at once my current "state" (I guess you could say) transitions elsewhere. But looking back one particular thing has always remained the same...that I'm always in a constant state of "waiting". Where will God take me next? Who will I end up spending the rest of my life with? Should I go back to school? Questions that constantly keep me relying and waiting on my Father. For His provision and guidance. For Him to tell me when the next move will be, where, and possibly with who. 

I'm beginning to accept my full transition into "adulthood". For the past year I've found myself caught straddling the fence. Not quite fitting in with the college scene anymore but still not old enough for the adult singles. Then I realized I did not want to accept that I am now on my own. Maybe because it makes me feel older? More "mature"? (Though trust me, I am still and always will be a kid at heart) Or maybe because I'm creeping up on 24 and still single with no light of even dating anyone any time soon. I think there has been several things hindering my full acceptance of growing up, but it changes here. 

This blog is it. The final one. I hope to write (though I cannot make any promises that it will be often) about what God is teaching me and where He is moving me. A forever favorite of mine, Ecclesiastes 3:1-8,11 reads:

"There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens: a time to be born and a time to die, a time to plant and a time to uproot, a time to kill and a time to heal, a time to tear down and a time to build, a time to weep and a time to laugh, a time to mourn and a time to dance, a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them, a time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing, a time to search and a time to give up, a time to keep and a time to throw away, a time to tear and a time to mend, a time to be silent and a time to speak, a time to love and a time to hate, a time for war and a time for peace...He has made everything beautiful in its time." 

So now it's time to wait and see.
