Ps 1:3

"He is like a tree planted by streams of water,which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither. Whatever he does prospers."

Where are they now?

I was on Facebook checking up on old friends and classmates. It is crazy how many different directions everyone has gone. Most of my friends from high school have their degree and are heading to med school. Some of them have gotten married and started extending their families. Some are happily single and traveling. There are a few that look like they haven't gone anywhere... just bums pretty much. I was looking at pictures and I almost envied those that are traveling and living their life to the fullest. I look at my life and try not to compare. Everyone has their own route they take. There is no one plan that fits all. Not everyone will graduate high school, go to college, get their degree, get married, and have babies, all in that order. I, for example, graduated high school, immediately went to community college, took advantage of a trip to Australia, and then instead of continuing school I suddenly found myself in the military. Here I am now, in the military, taking some online classes, and happy with my boyfriend. I am content for the most part, but I of course wouldn't mind doing some traveling and being proactive in creating memories. I don't know God's plan for me, but I am just going with the flow. A few years ago I would have never expected myself in the military or in South Dakota. Who knows where God will lead me next? Proverbs 16:9 pretty much says that man may have a bunch of plans in his heart, but ultimately, God determines his steps. I know I can't envy everyone else because that was God's plan for them, which may be a completely path than what God has in store for me.
