Amazing Paths…

Today I am keeping it short and sweet.

This is what God has placed on my heart, an wonderful bit of wisdom I’ve decided to share with you.

I’m beginning to see that if your doing what you love and following your heart you can’t go wrong. It doesn’t matter what anyone else may say or think, your dreams can take you anywhere – just so long as your willing to follow wherever it is they may lead ♥

Two weeks after graduation and they’re already taking me down some pretty amazing paths.  Thank you to God for opening up these doors, I am sooo excited to discover what my futures holds.

PS) This past weekend I performed in my final dance recital, since my feelings towards that are still a jumbled up mess in my head I’ve decided to wait a few days before I touch on the subject.

 

A Moment…

A moment.

I often find myself waiting for certain things, memories, moments.

The turning of my tassel.

In my head I thought that that moment would be one of the biggest in my life.  That in that instant the world as I knew it would change.

I was wrong.

It wasn’t nearly as exciting as I’d always imagined, not nearly as memorable.

What was?

Slip-n-sliding with my friends the next day.

I guess my point is this.  That when we plan our “big” moments, waiting patiently until they come, we miss out on what truly matters – life.  Because it isn’t the “big” moments that define us but the “little” ones.

In my head that one action was supposed to define me, to start me on the path to my future.  In reality it’s not that black and white.  I started down that road long before I moved my tassel from one side to the other.  It wasn’t in one “big” defining moment but in thousands of “little” ones.

It was in the friendships, the laughs, the tears, the sweat, the excitement, the pain, the heartache, the prayers, the hugs, the kisses, the handshakes, the parties, the sermons, the fears, the losses, the deaths and in new life.

These are the moments I’ll always remember.

These are the moments that have defined who I am, who I’ll become.

A moment.

Some “big” most “little“.

A memory.

A stories beginning.

The BIG moment..

The LITTLE ones.

Faster…

This week has gone extremely fast.  Now that I think about it, the closer I get to graduation, the faster they seem to go.  It doesn’t even seem possible that I’m senior in highschool, that in five short months I’ll be an adult.  In my head I’m still six years old, sitting in my daddy’s lap.  I think that I’m ready to leave, to move on, but there are always doubts – fear.  Fear in the unknown, fear in the future, but mostly fear in change.  Public school is all I’ve ever known, to be plucked from it and thrown into the “real world” simply because you’ve reached a certain age is scary.  But at the same time I am excited.  Excited to move on to bigger, better things, excited to reach my full potential.

So here’s to life, to catching each and every moment before it slips away. <3
