Ever-changing Life

I'm sitting here at 2 a.m. listening to Jon Foreman and thinking that I really should be in bed. It's hard to believe it's only 2 weeks until mid-terms here at school and I still haven't nailed down what I want to do after graduation this May. I have a pretty set idea, but it all requires a lot of faith in my Father on my part and understanding on the part of those people whose opinions matter most to me. The first of those two requirements is what really is most important because my Father can change opinions and help me deal with misunderstandings that may arise. It's amazing what happens when one has faith, but it's also devistating to see what happens when one's eyes are taken for just a moment from the One who gives life and takes it. Distractions happen so easily, but the most important part of this life is learning who created it and following Him through it.
Crazy little things have been happening around here over the past few days that have had me in a slight panic, but I know He's in control, and I really shouldn't have let myself worry about all these little things. It all seems job related, too. I was rather tempted to just quit both of my jobs and not worry about it any more, but really, that would just be silly. I am really thankful for both opportunities. One provides me with room and board; the other I really love doing (and the extra income really helps). I'm also thankful for my classes this semester and for the fact that they're really not hard. This has been the least challenging semester since my freshmen year and I'm able to spend time with the friends I've made here before we all start parting ways. It's strange to think that I've pretty much lived here for 4 years of my life now, and strange to think that I'll miss such a crazy, backwards little town, but I know I will. I've learned a lot about myself here, through relationships and challenges and opportunities I never thought I'd have. It's been good.
Before I get all teary-eyed on myself, I here remind myself that I have 13 more weeks that I have to survive before graduation takes place, and that in order to survive them, sleep is necessary. So, goodnight.
