Trusting the timing of your life

I was in the car with my mom on the way back from lunch yesterday, when it hit me. I will be graduating with my undergraduate degree in May (46 days to be exact, but who's counting?) which gradually means a lot of changes are coming up. I've normally been someone who embraces change, I believe that it keeps life interesting. I have nothing but excitement for the upcoming chapter in my life and all the changes that are going to accompany it. But I am also someone who consistently envision their future and what it may be like. Speak it into existence, right?

As my mom and I continued talking, I started thinking about the picture I had in my head of what my life was going to look like when I was graduating college. I was thinking that I would have this awesome job that I was leaving school heading into, a fiance that I was planning this amazing wedding with, and all of this other stuff. Long story short- my life is nothing like the picture that I had in my head and this started to make me upset.

Society has followed norms for as long as I can remember. Most of these norms are definitely for the better. But recently, people have begun to challenge the norms of going to college, getting married right away, staying at the same job for years and years and years, and I love it.

It is so important to understand that everyone's timeline is different. Just because you are expected to do a certain thing at a certain age, does not necessarily mean this is the plan that God has for your life. Everyone's timeline is different. We too often put pressure on ourselves to be or to do certain things at a certain time. Granted, there are certain things that you have to be able to do (pay the bills, support your family, etc.) which typically require a college degree and full time job. But when life may not be living up to our expectations, it is most likely because God has better expectations for us than we had planned.

Putting blind faith and hope in God is always scary. I have been a Christian my entire life but it's still scary for me to throw my hands up and say, "you know I am trusting God's timing in this situation. He is always right on time."

But he has yet to prove me wrong or let me down, and I 100% believe that he never will.

No two people on this earth will ever walk the same journey. Everyone's path is different and leads to a different end results. Trust that the path that you are walking is meant for you, and when the timing is right for you, it will happen.

Sincerely,

KU :)
