the perfect future...

so do you ever sit around and think about how you'd like for things to be? i have to admit, when you have kind of a blah day, it's quite easy to sit around and ponder the intricacies of life and think about how you'd like for the future to play out. now, i know as well as anyone else that i don't have too much impact over what happens next, but if i did...

i'd like to find the right seminary. like, the place that when i visited there, i was like, this is right. they say that when a bride tries on the "right" wedding dress, she knows automatically that it is it. now, i'm definitely not getting married anytime soon (or maybe ever), but i'd like that feeling with whatever seminary or divinity school i am "supposed" to go to in the fall.

i'd like to go to that seminary and make amazing friends. friends that constantly challenge me in my faith and my walk with Christ. friends that i can be silly with, and i can have intellectual conversations with. friends that understand me.

i'd like to find a ministry where i feel like i fit, a place where God can use my small gifts for his glory.

i'd like to find someone to walk with me throughout this life, in some kind of capacity.

maybe these are big hopes, but i serve a big God....a God who, while he wants to answer my requests, has such bigger dreams and plans in store for me than i could ever imagine. praise Him.
