change...

My little brother's girlfriend is graduating from A&M in a month and spurred this blog. She's a bit nervous about the real world as every new graduate/soon to be graduate typically is at this moment in time. It's the realization that the world is yours for the taking, no longer hiding under mom and dad's wing of protection(sure some people think that this is what college is but honestly, it wasn't for me, yes college was more responsibility and FUN but it's nothing like the after college), your financial well being falls on yourself and you finally know the feeling spreading your wings and flying solo.

As I was unpacking some boxes from our move (yes, I know it was nearly a year ago....we are a bit slow) I found my journal from right before I was about to graduate. Going back 4 years, I was scared, excited and nervous about moving to Miami Beach and taking my first job out of college. As I was reading, I remember what it was like to be at such a point in my life where the only certain thing was change was coming...good, bad, happy, sad it was all there. I'm not going to go too much into depth of all the changes I went through but just point out that I feel like I'm at that same spot in my life right now but this time I have my husband by my side. The road ahead of me has nothing but change and uncertainty and for the first time in my life I will be responsible for another little life. But as I just stated, I'm not alone, (not that I was ever alone - I know God is/has/will always be with me) my wonderful husband will be right there with me learning and growing in the beautiful change that will occur in about 4 months.

I used to be scared of change, actually I wasn't a fan of it at all...but now as I get older I realize that change is inevitable and usually it's a great time to learn a thing or two new about me and life. But as much as this crazy world has a constant dose of change and uncertainty for everyone the one constant thing is God's love and His plan for our lives. Thank goodness that "Jesus is the same yesterday, today and forever." - Hebrews 13:8

I think I might have just rambled on a bit. So here's a piece of useful knowledge...jalapeno flavored pickles are packed with spicy punch!
