she smiles at the future.

The future...it is definitely a scary, scary thing. One thing I have had trouble learning is how to smile at the future, how to be excited about not knowing anything! It is a crazy thought.

There are PLENTY of things to look forward to...end of the semester, Christmas, graduation, oh, and did I mention GETTING MARRIED?! 2013 will be a year of change. Starting a new life as a wife and a college graduate, I have no idea what I am going to do. I've never been a wife, and I have been in school since I was 3 years old...the future is most definitely overwhelming.

"Behold, I have engraved you on the palms of my hands; your walls are continually before me." --Isaiah 49:16

I can say with absolute certainty that the future makes me nervous. Heck, it scares me! But I serve a God who has my life in the palm of his hand. I am ENGRAVED there. He knows what will happen tomorrow, next month and in 10 years. He knows everything.

"She is clothed with strength and dignity; she laughs at the days to come" --Proverbs 31:25

I can only hope and pray that God transforms me into a woman who does not cry and worry at what career I will pursue or if I will be a good wife, but that I would smile and laugh at what God has planned, knowing that God is greater than this whole wide universe and has a wonderful, incredible plan for me.
