Well furlough’s coming soon. We leave next year for our third trip back and things are getting pretty crazy. My parents are working on planning missions conferences, trying to fit in visits with family, and looking for a vehicle to drive around. And me? Well, I’m getting more and more confused as I try to iron out my future.
I turn 18 this year (yay!!!!) and next year I graduate! But as everyone knows, with college comes the worries of where I’m gonna live, what I’m gonna study, how I’m going to make a living to pay for college and just life in general. I’m overwhelmed. Right now it looks like I’m gonna start in community college and move up to a bigger school from there. But still, I don’t know how on earth I’m gonna pay for anything. And as I said, I’m overwhelmed.
I read Tim Tebow’s biography recently and something he said really got me. “I don’t know what the future holds, but I know who holds my future.” How amazing is that? Only we, as Christians, can have this kind of certainty that our God holds our future in his hands! When I think about this, I can remember not to worry about the future!
Now I just gotta ask God for his grace in the coming separation from my family. Oops, sorry my mom doesn’t want me to talk about that .
