Looking for Direction

Recently, I've been trying to give God complete control of my life. Simply put, I am a stressed-out senior who is constantly worried about where I'll be next year, what I need to be doing now, and why all the hoops through which I must jump seem monotonous and impossible.

A popular quote my family tries to remember is:

Worry is like a rocking chair: you can do it all day but it'll get you nowhere.

Another quote I like is:

Even if you're on the right track, you'll get run over if you just sit there.

Well, I can't really figure out how to put all of my thoughts today into this blog, so I'll just give you the concluding statement:

God has made a way for each and every one of us. We need to actively pursue the goals He has set for us, but we also need to ask Him for the guidance to discover what's out there for us.



Today, I heard this song and it was a reminder to me that I should be more concerned with what God is doing within me and the doors He has opened for me than with the doors that seem to close for me. A closed door is just a new direction; it's time to stop feeling discouraged when a door closes and get excited about the new steps ahead!
