How Can You Plan Life?



Have you ever started a new job and you suddenly remember what you didn't like about new things and you can't seem to remember why you left your last job?
 Well, you remember but you can't quite decide which one is worse...
the old job or the new job.
Just me right?
The funny thing is I love to see new places and do new things. I did move about 13 times before I was 15 and you can't do that without learning how to be a little bit flexible.
The big changes I can handle. It's the little things that get to me
and when their gone you realize how important they were to you. 
Like how something feels or smells. You know how everyone has a different smell to them. I'm definitely one of those people who uses all 5 senses.
Now don't get me wrong I don't go around sniffing things like a dog. 
For me it's just how I get that sense of familiarity. Like when you step in a old used bookstore and it hits you; the memory of the first poetry book you ever read by Longfellow. Or when you borrow...or steal, someone's jacket and it smells just like them, so it's like they're with you all day!

Sorry, I don't know how I got on that but I think what I'm trying to say is that changes are hard.
As I go through  this new stage in my life...
you know where the word NEW is everywhere.

 I am new at
life outside of high school,
my job,
being one year older,
making my own decisions,
and life in college...
the fact is I'm still learning how to be a mature adult.
That's a scary thought, mostly because I'm trying to control and handle every NEW that comes my way. That's a very exhausting and impossible kind of life. Now I'm not saying that you should never plan and you should always fly by the seat of your pants....no, setting goals is a good thing. 
You just can't get upset when things don't go as planned.
Trust that God always has your back and will make everything turn out for your good!

How can you plan life?
Life is a journey.
So enjoy it and let Jesus handle the rest!
