There are times in life where you are in transition. In between the last thing, and not quite to the next. And all you can do is wait. Wait for the next thing to get here, wait for your turn to shine, wait for the adventure around the corner. Well that is where I am at in pretty much ever aspect of my life right now. Waiting for broken relationships to mend, waiting for new ones to develop, waiting for school to "actually start" (where I actually feel like I am working towards a degree instead of just taking classes), waiting to find a job, waiting to go home (or not? depends on the job situation), waiting for my life to make sense. And you know what? It's hard! Through faith I know that my Father in Heaven has a plan for me, and that I can and will accomplish great things by following that plan. But the waiting; the waiting is so hard. I was talking to a friend's mom the other day, and then again with my own mother about this in reference to my job search that has lasted about 5 months now....and as it gets closer and closer to summer I get more and more anxious about the fact that I still have not been able to find a job (and possibly will have to get 2 jobs to make rent for next fall). I told both my friend's mom and mine that "I know things haven't been working out so that the right thing will, but waiting for it to work out is really hard." It is hard not knowing what is going to happen in the future, both the immediate and the distant. It is hard having good friends that I miss so dearly so far away. Or having friendships lost, in repair but not fully restored. It is hard being an adult. It is hard because life is hard, and when you're in that waiting part, you feel like you will never get out. Through faith I know that in time, this too will pass...but even with strong faith being patient is easier said than done. Life is hard. But it's hard for everyone. And each day that I sit here in the in between "waiting part" I get one day closer to finding out what my Father in Heaven has in store for me.
I love music. It is everything good and happy and right with the world and at the same time can say even the saddest words with such elegance and grace. It can express my thoughts and emotions in way that I know I never could. It is the life-blood of my soul. It makes me happy. And it goes beyond anything I can explain in plain words...which is kinda the point. For me, country music (among a few other things) makes me feel like I am home, no matter what is going on in my life. It is simply fantastic, in fact two of my favorite quotes come from the movie August Rush. They are... "You know what music is? God's little reminder that there's something else besides us in this universe, a harmonic connection between all living beings, every where, even the stars." AND "I believe in music the way some people believe in fairy tales..." And if those two don't say it all then I don't know what will. They are simply perfect in my opinion, and are completel...
