Girl Meets World

I always find myself impatiently wishing I were 5, 7 or 10 years down the road in life. There are so many things that I just wish I knew the answer to or could see how it all turned out. I know it's silly. I never wish I knew all the answers immediately though, because then I am aware that it would take all of the adventure out of the pilgrimage. And even though I don't want to know everything now, I still want to know where I am going! I just don't want to take all of the fun out of it!

I liken it to my favorite show in the world, "Boy Meets World". It's really quite a beautiful little world that the writers of that show created. These three friends that go through life together, through everything; and they always have Mr. Feeney there to give them epic guidance at any moment!

Once you get to the last episode in Season 7 it all comes to one grand closure. There they are, all together, and they've all decide to venture off into the world like they've always been, together. You feel like you've become part of their lives as you've watched them struggle through life, it's joys & heartbreaks. I mean Cory & Toganga break up like a million times, but at the end you always know everything is going to be alright. So, what am I getting at? I don't even know. I think what it is though, is that life is beautiful. Life is a process; and even though sometimes I wish I had the picture perfect "Boy Meets World" kind of life, I know that what I have is even more beautiful, really. I know I don't have some awesome writers in Hollywood writing the script for my life [thank God!!!] as to assure a wonderful ending; but this I do have;

Oh yes, you shaped me first inside, then out;
      you formed me in my mother's womb.
   I thank you, High God—you're breathtaking!
      Body and soul, I am marvelously made!
      I worship in adoration—what a creation!
   You know me inside and out,
      you know every bone in my body;
   You know exactly how I was made, bit by bit,
      how I was sculpted from nothing into something.
   Like an open book, you watched me grow from conception to birth;
      all the stages of my life were spread out before you,
   The days of my life all prepared
      before I'd even lived one day.  [psalm 139:13]

and...on top of that I am promised this;

      I'll show up and take care of you as I promised and bring you back home.
         I know what I'm doing. I have it all planned out—plans to take care of you,
     not abandon you, plans to give you the future you hope for. [jeremiah 29:11]

Therefore, whenever my heart begins to grow weary or impatient, it is refreshing when I simply remind myself of the truth spoken over my life; when I remind myself to let go & trust in the one who cares more about my life than I even do. When I remember that. I can truly just rest.
