Finding Joy in the Unknown

I love to have a plan, an end goal, something to work towards.  Since starting college, I have doubted my major, my choice in college, and how I fit into the world.  Not knowing what my future looks like is deeply concerning for me and my type-A personality. As recently as last week, I have debated transferring colleges and changing my major.

However, a few days ago, I stumbled across a quote that spoke to me.

"I do not know what my future holds, but I know who holds my future."

God has a plan for my life that is greater than anything I could ever dream.  Instead of being burdened by my anxieties and worries, I need to remember to lift those concerns to Jesus.  His love provides me with a peace and calm that no amount of to-do lists can satisfy.  A prayer I've been saying every night before I go to bed and before I rise in the morning is "Jesus, please guide my heart, mind, and soul that I may bring glory to You.  When I forget, please remind me that you have a wonderful plan for my life."

God is good.
