God works it out

God works it out.

He always does.

It definitely may not be in our time.

But He always does his thing.

Be patient for His timing.  Be patient for Him to answer.  He will take care of you.  He will provide answers and take care of you.

Commercial Breaks in life?

Sometimes life feels like it has some pretty BIG moments.  There are the usuals...going to kindergarten, graduating the elementary stage of life, awkward middle school years, starting high school, ending high school and going off to college.  I have heard that the next big things in life for a person will be getting married, buying a house, having kids...the usual milestones one looks forward to as they get older.

I feel like I am in this "in between" stage of my life right now.  I'm out of college (still living in the same city I went to college in, which presents a myriad of awkward stages on its own that I could blog about another time)  but I'm single and not moving to that next stage of life just yet. I'm renting an apartment and can't keep enough money in my bank account to not have the loan offices laugh at me when I try to buy a house.  I'm not having kids because I'm not ready to be a babymama yet.  I'm working full time at a job I love, but not settled in one spot permanently. So that got me thinking...is this a commercial break in my life?

I'm not suggesting that I feel like I'm just waiting for the rest of my life to happen--because I'm not.  Haven't you ever seen Super Bowl commercials? They're the best part!!  But...commercials offer a chance for the viewer to slow down for a second and take a break from all the major events going on during the big show.  At least, that's what I think the point of commercials are.   And to sell you ridiculous things you don't need (Jones BBQ and Foot Massage).  This is a time for me to love my friends, play, make mistakes, slow down and not be so focused on "what's next".  I know there will be more to the show.  That's what happens after a short commercial break.  So, in the mean time, I'm going to hope that this is a very entertaining and hilarious commercial break of my life and try to make it one of the best commercials out there.  I'm not fast forwarding this commercial break (which I have become so apt to do with my DVR)  but instead I am going to live it up and enjoy the time.
