one more day!!!

only one more full day in california!!! insane!!! my emotions are all over the place! im sad about leaving because im gonna miss my friends and family and home. but im really excited because i get to decorate my dorm! and make new friends, and be independent! :D the independence thing is something i am really looking forward to! the three weeks i was at camp made me more confident in the fact that i can make my own decisions and life doesnt fall apart when i do what i want. i guess that can be good or bad! haha.

something that has been on my mind a lot lately, is God's timing. i've been put in situations recently where i have had to make hard decisions, and i keep thinking "if only this was last week/year!". but then i pull my head back and realize that while it may not be what i want, it happened right when God wanted it to. it is SO frustrating sometimes! but how awesome is it, that God knows exactly what is going to happen in every situation, even the ones we havent been put in yet. our God is so AWESOME! life is so much happier knowing that im not wandering aimlessly, i am being guided, even if i dont recognize that fact. my phrase for this summer has been "its all good", it kind of sounds like an apathetic phrase but when you think about it, it really is all good because it is exactly what God planned! every time i use it, i refocus on what i need to have at the center of my life, God's will.

Ecc 3:11
"He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the hearts of men; yet they cannot fathom what God has done from beginning to end."
