God is good

"God is good....... all the time. 


and all the time..... God is good."

This is a quote I remember my dad reciting almost every Sunday morning in church. It's so simple, yet so true. God is always good to us- all the time! Not sometimes, not just on Fridays, or on birthdays, but ALL THE TIME. He never fails us. He's always there- past, present, and future. He's always planning ahead and he always knows best. Sometimes I think I lose grip of that fact. I forget that God's got it all under control. I probably should punish myself like in middle school and write it down five times a day, "God has it under control, God has it under control, God has it under control...." 

You know how I was super worried about college and where I'd end up next year? Well, to my surprise, God has it all under control. I just found out my next year of college is also going to be paid for! Basically, I can go to any school I wanted to for 2 full semesters- even Gardner-Webb! That makes me so happy that my options are a little more open :) I still need to worry about Junior and Senior year of college though. I've been thinking and praying, and I just need to look at my options at this point. If I stay at GWU, I'd just get more attached than I already am so I'm realizing that it might not be such a good idea to stay. My next option is to go to UNC at Greensboro (close to home). I was able to get a tour there yesterday and I loved the campus and I could see myself fitting in there. Another option is to take classes at GTCC and save money to live in an apartment for my junior and senior year. That way I'd save the free year for my junior year at UNCG- if that all makes sense. There are so many options now I just don't know where God wants to put me. Although it's very stressful for me to figure out a plan for the next few years, I can only leave it in God's hands. The devil is doing whatever he can to stop me from both living my dreams and from doing what God's called me to do. But what the devil doesn't realize is that God has an even bigger plan for my life than I could ever imagine, but those plans will only follow through if I trust Him. "God is good- all the time."
