College is great.
You find a school that best suits you, with a major you're interested in, and you study it for four years.
College is fun, with brand new friends, learning things you never knew, and discovering more about who you are.
But College is also stressful because you actually have to do something with your life after those four years.
Some people know exactly what they want to do, others have no clue, but regardless of which boat you're in, we all find ourselves asking and questioning, "What are we really going to do with our lives?"
We wonder where will we move to, how we will make money.
When I think about it, I have no money. I have no idea how to pay bills, live on my own, or be an adult.
It's terrifying.
We have so many ideas, so many dreams and goals going to college, but now reality is setting in.
Like, wait a second I actually have to do something with this bachelors degree?
But you know what, people graduate every year, each semester, and they do it.
Some people graduate with a plan, and others don't, but either way, they did it.
You might not know how to adult now, but you will.
As a Christian, I believe that God has a plan for me, and that's not to say that I am able to sit back and let God do it all, sadly it doesn't work that way.
But I believe that God created me with a purpose, and while I might not know what that purpose is, I do know that through time that purpose becomes clearer and clearer.
So its okay that I don't have an exact plan. It's okay if you don't know exactly where you'll move to, or what job you'll have. God does.
C.S Lewis said, "Relying on God has to begin all over again every day as if nothing had been done yet."
I think before knowing exactly what we're supposed to do with our lives, we're called to rely on God.
Because He knows what's best for us.
I think I know what's best for me, and ten out of ten of those times I'm horribly wrong.
We can have our ideas and our dreams, make goals and hope to reach them, but its okay to not know anything 100%.
Trust that God has a plan even when you don't.
Trust that God sees a future for you, despite your doubts.
There is no shame in not knowing, or not having a guaranteed plan after graduation.
Each day will come as it will, just try living for today before you try living for tomorrow.
Adulting will come when you're ready, and you'll learn the same way everyone else had to learn.
No plan doesn't mean no future.
No goal doesn't mean no purpose.
Here's to having no clear view of the future, letting go, and letting God, because you don't have to have everything put together all the time.
