These months off of school are dragging out...as I see my friends' posts about classes and college life I long to get back to that busy, late night schedule. It hasn't been a emotionally relaxing break. I've been through a lot recently and needed the time to think things out and deal with some baggage. Now though, I'm restless and ready for whatever lies ahead.
I wonder why things didn't work out last year. I really felt I was called to go to that particular school. I went with two of my best friends so I had support. The expensive tuition did not cause a problem. At the beginning of the first semester I loved everything. But to use the words of a speaker I heard recently, you need to plant yourself where you bear fruit 100 fold. That was not the best place for me to grow socially, spiritually or academically.
I've seen a friend's journey to college work the opposite way. She was adamantly against going to my school. She is a stellar student, should have been accepted anywhere she wanted to go. But for some reason door after door shut on her. Guess where she ended up? At my school. From everything I've heard, it is working out well.
Sometimes are lives seems to be filled with so many twists and turns, mistakes and ruts. God however sees the big picture. We see a rambling road, going aimlessly. He sees the intersections with other roads, the scenery we pass, and the perfect view from above. So while I'm impatient for what is around the next bend, I know these moments are just as important to Him. So I'll continue to work on bearing fruit here.
Pax Christi!
