Some things never change...

Wow, I find it intriguing that I wrote my previous post two years ago and I'm still right there...needing to grow up...needing to be independent of others' expectations...needing to trust God more and myself less...

The other day I was really down on myself about where I am in life right now and I came across this quote two times within three hours! Here it is:

"For a long time it had seemed to me that life was about to begin - real life. But here was always some obstacle in the way, something to be gotten through first, some unfinished business, time still to be served, or a debt to be paid. Then life would begin. At last it dawned on me that this was my life. This perspective has helped me to see that there is no way to happiness. Happiness is the way." (Souza)

This just made me think about how often I do this. I live in this dream world of tomorrow and miss out on today. I'm working to fix that...and more importantly, trying to find something that I would enjoy doing every day.

I don't know. I confuse myself. I know this to be true..."In his heart, a man plans his course, but the Lord determines his steps." Proverbs 16:9...this is the constant theme of my life right now.
