God has bigger plans for me than I have for myself.

   I haven't blogged in quite a while, but life has been very busy. Finals are almost over and San Marcos has been crazy. Everyone has been so stressed with finals and summer plans, that I feel like we forget why we are here. Yes I am here to get an education, but the way I see it, when I look back on my college years I'm not going to remember getting an A in physics, I'm going to remember staying out late with all of my friends, going dancing, and stuffing ourselves with IHOP. I just think we take life way to seriously sometimes, it's like we forget that there is a lot more than this. 
   This is how have come to a very wonderful realization. I don't care anymore. I stress so much about money, and school, and life, but no matter how much I worry, God always takes care of it anyway... so why don't I just enjoy the ride and see where it goes? I've also decided that I want to see the world, and not in just a travel once a year to an exotic tourist destination, but I want to live in another country. God created so much, and we see so little, I want to experience and see as much of this world as I can. So I'm adding it to my bucket list: Live in another country for at least a year. I'm excited, and I want to do it as soon after graduation as I can, which means I have a good amount of time to start saving, but that means I have to start now. 
   I've also realized that I can never let another person change my goals. I realize the fact that when I get married my priorities will change, which is why I'm not stressing about it anymore. There are a lot of things that I want to do with my life, and it doesn't really make a difference to me whether I find that person after I've accomplished those things, or whether they want to accomplish those things with me. God has bigger plans for me than I have for myself, and I need to keep remembering that. There's so much more in the world than falling in love, and I've seen that as my focus for so long. But it's all shifting now... and there is so much more.
