So a few months ago when I joined the world race, time couldn’t seem to pass by fast enough. I was so ready to leave THEN! And as each day gets closer and closer I get more anxious but a little scared at the same time. I mean, this next year is sure to be the most excited one of my life (SO FAR anyway). It’s a lot to take in. I never really thought I would do something like the world race, but then again, we never really know what God has in store for us. It’s so funny that he chose me to do something like this! But even though it’s totally out of my comfort zone, I have always loved nature. (Most people don’t know that) lol. But while prepping for this trip, I have gotten a sense of who I am, who God is, and I’m starting to find out where I’m going to fit into this whole picture. It’s so nerve racking! As I have tried to prepair I have started going hiking. And I have really began to love it. I don’t even think of it as a working out experience anymore (Even though those hills kick my butt most of the time). I went hiking the other day and was on the TVA trail completely all by myself. It was an amazing time to reflect.
Reflect….
Now there is a word I have become fond of! I’m not even sure if just saying it on here does any justice. It’s been more like, overannalyzing my entire life up until this moment. I have had so many curve balls in my life that have thrown me from the path I was supposed to be on… but I guess as the song says, “God blessed the broken road that led me straight to you.” Now, a lot of times this song is refered to as a love song… and I guess in a way it is. But in a way, I guess it is a love story. Because fact is, after all of those boys faces who I have dated thru the years all melt together in one big scary “PAST MONSTER” I really don’t even remember them. I know it’s sad but it’s the truth. I’m such a completely different person then I once was but even with any of those boys, I have NEVER been in love. Those boys were all time killers. Dead weight. And now I can FINELY say I am 100% head over heels in love. I’m in love with my Savior! He is by far the most beautiful thing my mind has ever thought about or I have ever experienced! I’m crazy over Jesus! All those fuzzy feelings I was always supposed to get when a guy grabbed my hand or kissed me that never really happened, I recieve now by helping a homeless man under a bridge, smiling at a stranger, or just being a friend.
So I guess it would tech be “God blessed the broken road that led me straight to God?” Lol, I’m not sure if that even makes sense… but for now lets pretend it does! =)
Here is to being young and in love!
