Well, this is exciting..my first post! I am totally new to this whole blogging thing, so for anyone who follows it..bare with me! ;) With that being said, this blog is dedicated to anything that happens in my life. Anything from college related things, lessons learned, advice for others, funny every day things, etc! I pretty much want to look back in the future and recall memories through my blog. On that note, that is why I...finally...named my blog Hope.and.a.Future. The name comes from Jeremiah 29:11, "For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not harm you, plans to give you HOPE and a FUTURE." I thought it was pretty relevant :)
But it took me FOREVER...well two days...to come up with the name. I like to, how does my lovely boyfriend say it, make things into rocket science. Any other girl like that? Well because of that I didn't want to start blogging until I had the PERFECT name. But then that was taking too long (I'm also a bit impatient sometimes..) so I had decided on one of my options! Hope.and.a.Future it was!! :D
The thing is, is that God has a plan for all of us. Most of the time...all of the time..it doesn't match up with our own plans. However, His are so much better. I sleep so much better at night knowing I'm not the one in control of my future. Like I said, my impatience + making things into "rocket science" + a whole bunch of other stuff would = disaster! But the Lord love me oh SO much that He already has a wonderful future for me! And by wonderful I don't mean roses and daises...because that's not what He promises. It means He has a future to allow me to mature and grow in trials (James 1:2-4), spread His good news, be the best Disciple I can be, and so much more. My past is my past...my present is with me right now...and my Future is in God's hands. So comforting!
So to wrap my first post up, I was going to include a wordle about myself...but it's being a pain in my rear end. Maybe I can figure out how to save/upload it later...
God Bless!
