Less Than Four Weeks

This impending graduation seems so unreal. On my way to class this morning, I thought about how I only have three more Mondays here. How could that be possible? Yesterday I was a nervous 17-year-old at freshman orientation. Today I’m 21, and I’ve almost finished my illustrious undergraduate career. I think I finally understand why adults are always complaining about how quickly time goes. It really does just fly by!

The changes looming ahead are terrifying, overwhelming, and exciting all at once. Everything in my life feels so chaotic right now, and I know the chaos is only going to increase over the next few months. I have such a desire to simplify, to have everything and everyone I love in one place, and to know what my life is going to look like in the future. But that’s not possible right now.

I have a couple of job possibilities on the horizon, one of which I’ve already interviewed for and should be finding out about in the next couple of days. The other possibility is the one I really, really want. Interviewing doesn’t begin until next month, though. Both jobs would start in July or August. I would appreciate your prayers.

Am I ready to be a full-fledged grown-up? I don’t really feel like it. I’m thankful for my parents and their support. My friends are scattering in so many different directions, from South America to Tibet. (Actually, not Tibet.) Yes, life is just going to be crazy for awhile. But He’s along for the ride, and more than that, He’s guiding me every step of the way. I have nothing to worry about. If only I could remember that more often.
