I wish that I knew what I know now (when I was younger)

So, the title of this post could be relevant...or may not be. But either way, I really like that song. (you should give it a go).

X) Excitement of the day: anxiously awaiting the 6 inches of snow expected for tomorrow/school is O-U-T.
Y) Time well spent: Finishing the resume (!) and attending a discussion panel hosted by the UCA religious studies department on "Is there a link between religion and violence?" (Please, let me know your thoughts...)

So, wishing that I knew what i know now when I was younger has stemmed from a place of future-pondering. Lately, as I've been reading up on the job field of PR, self-doubt and anxiety have taken a front-row seat on the "Let's see where Lea goes in life" show. Should I doubt my education? Should I ease my way in to the PR work crew? I'm a little bit scared to dive in. I'm definitely with the kiddos who, in swimming lessons ,want to cheat and stick their feet out before falling forward. BUT, the past has told me that experience will teach me, and I have a master-guide (Jesus, duh) who will show me the ropes.

Carrying on.

I'm thankful for the people that are placed randomly strategically throughout my days. The kid who cracks a smile. The person that opens the door for me. The lady I sit next to commenting on the weather. The guy I'm hoping didn't see me just trip. (go figure).  I was thinking today about how I've met all of the important people in my life. Most of them were encounters that I had nothing to do with. One, I met while riding a bicycle with my oh-so-cool Barbie helmet (thanks mom). Others were randomly placed roommates. They were placed by a master-planner, who sees the whole tapestry, when I'm just ONE thread. way cool to think about.

My life is on purpose. The plans of my day revolve around a greater purpose. Not because I'm special or that I'm some ultra-deserving person that is super duper awesome, but because I have a Savior that cares. Se llama Jesus.


Dueces gooses.
