Homeward Bound

Ever since I was a little girl I've tried to plan out my life. It's funny though how so much of the time those plans get changed. Originally I had planned on going to school for summer term and graduating in August. However, these past few months have been very stressful and confusing to me. I feel as though I was pushing myself too hard, for too long and finally it all caught up to me.

I've always thought I was open minded, however, it amazes me how one tracked my mind can be. I kept trying to conform my life into this plan that I had made for myself. It wasn't until a friend made a comment one night that I even realized there were alternatives. After a lot of prayer and fasting from me and my family, I realized that my plan was all wrong. What I need to do is go home for summer term to be with family, recoup, and work. Then I will return fall semester to finish my degree. So that's what I'm going to do. I'm moving home in 2.5 weeks and will be there for the remainder of the summer. I am so excited to be home with my family. You cannot possibly imagine the relief and happiness I have felt since making this decision! This is definitely the right thing for me to do. I already have most of the arrangements made and it seems as though everything is falling into place! Thank goodness the Lord answers prayers and has a better plan for me than I had for myself.
