Carpe Diem

Myself and many friends of mine are in a transitional phase in our lives. One friend is deciding whether to stay overseas for another year, go to school or come home, another  has been laid off and is applying for jobs and is looking at a possible move, one just got engaged, one is going to France and is contemplating her next move, and me… I have options. well 3 really. 

As I contemplate the future options in my life I have the tendency to get really weighed down by the possibilities and the feeling that I have to have it all figured out now. Why do I do that to myself? Why is it so difficult to listen to the biblical principles which are so often given as advice from fellow believers, “Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?”  ” do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. each day has enough trouble of its own.”  I believe the word, where I get confused is why it is so easy to be disobedient in the area of worry? Even as i type this I am thinking how elementary it all is. 

As much as I worry I am so excited about this year and the changes that lie ahead for all of us. Once those decisions are made (which will come with time) and we are doing and living out those decisions I only see joy. There isnt a bad decision for any of us really. so any of my friends who are reading this I cannot wait to visit you in Prague, New York, Atlanta, Orlando and LA.
