The future is a exciting thing! Having a new surprise around every corner! But It can also be a very scary thing. Never knowing whats around that next corner.. for a long time, i had been fliping back and forth between those two mind sets. For a while i would be excited for whats to come, and ready for whatever life throws at me. And other times, i was worried about my future. Scared that i messed up too bad, and i wouldn’t be able to bounce back that easy. Dont get me wrong its good to have both, in moderation. You dont want to live in fear of whats to come, but you also dont want to throw caution to the wind, and live your life like nothing bad can happen to you.
These past few months have really given me clarification on what i want my future to look like. My old mind set was that i needed to have fun now, before i get older and have bigger responsibilities than just getting to school on time. “you cant be old and wise, unless you were young and crazy.” (Insert country song here). But im realizing that i dont need to make those mistakes. Because thats what they are, mistakes. The way i look at how i want my future to be, is through my future kids eyes. i ask myself “when im older and my kids ask me what i did when i was there age.” i want to tell them all about how there dad built his first house, with his bare hands at the age of 19. Not about how he would go out and party every friday night. Going on the world race, i wasnt expecting to change. I thought i would just come home, and everything be the same. But thats not Gods plan for me! He has been walking me out of boyhood, and showing me what my future can look like through him. I guess the main idea of this is, that im ready and excited to start my new future. And i know God will help me with anything that comes around lifes corner.
