Yikes people. The last post on this blog? February. Yikes again. Lo siento (I'm sorry!)
Well, here it is, the 23rd of may (24th technically) and I cannot believe where I am in life. Graduated from college. Moving to costa rica in 2 months. Friends getting married. People spreading across the globe. My sister going into jr high. *sigh* sigh*sigh*. Ch-ch-changes are always coming along, aren't they? I feel pretty prepared for most of them at this point in time. I mean, graduating college was weird, but it was most definitely time for it to happen, so I'm good with that. I mean, of course I will (and do) miss being surrounded by all of my friends, but you can't stay in one place forever. I find that as bigger changes come and go in my life, I learn how to take them a little more easily, or at least I can find new ways to handle the stress and fear that comes with change. One day at a time. I realized the complete truth and importance of this little phrase during my study abroad experience in Central America, and I try to remind myself of it every single day, in every minute that I feel scared about the future or begin overthinking life just a tad too much. One day at a time. Here I am, in this moment. How can I love God? How can I love people? WHAT is most important in this very moment that I find myself in? These are the questions that I have to learn to ask myself. What is this moment meaning for my life? What will I give in the time that I have in this one day? I don't need to freak out about the future, because I can't control it. Heck, I can't even control the present, really. And oddly enough, I am becoming more and more comfortable with that fact. Hm. It feels nice when God displaces worry at the center of our lives. :) I am here on purpose; with a purpose; to love God and love people. Finito: the end. Fin. Love is life, and life is about loving. Yeah, I can sleep well with that on the brain. :)
