One of my favorite sayings that I tell to almost every girl who isn’t content is “Don’t have one foot in the Past, one in the Future, and pee on the Present.”
I feel like this is the story of my life right now. I have to keep repeating this to myself so I don’t go crazy trying to play out the past and see where I went wrong. Or, spend too much time dreaming about the future and what I can do correctly when it finally rolls around. When I do those things, I am seriously missing something. I am missing “right now.”

Life is hard. It has its up’s and down’s. More recently, it has been a kinda lull in-between. I have had some extremely joyful times, but I have also had some “hit rock bottom” hard times. It is hard to balance the two. It is hard to trust the Lord that right where he has you is right where you belong. It is hard to not get lost in the day dreams of tomorrow and memories of yesterday. But, the Lord is so sovereign. He is soooo incredibly patient. He waits with me and walks with me all the way (Like the “Footprints in the Sand” poem =) ).

I don’t have any clue where I will be next year at this time. Who knows? Maybe India. Maybe in the Middle East somewhere. Maybe in Europe somewhere. Maybe I’ll be right here in Riverside. The Lord really is the only one who knows; I need to trust him. He is enough; His Gospel is ENOUGH!!!

Days like today, where nothing is particularly wrong, but something isn’t right…I need to trust him. I need to keep my eyes stayed on him. I need to not look to the right or to the left. I need to keep my hand on the plow and not look back. I need to RUN with strength and confidence in him. I need to not pee on the present all the gosh darn time and trust Him that where I am at is good and even GREAT!!!!!!!
