Peace for the Future

I’m Jamie Arnold and I am a  senior this year!  Recently God has been preparing me for some exciting things that are going to be happening. 

First off, I’m graduating this May.  The future is exciting, but also scary because it is so unknown.  Because I’m human, I want my life planned out, and then , of course, to go according to that plan.  But God doesn’t always like the plans I have for myself.  The past three years I planned on attending graduate school right away. 

However, He had other plans.  My boyfriend proposed to me on Christmas Eve!  This changed everything.  Now instead of planning my immediate future for just myself, we’re planning our future together.  God has been teaching me that it’s okay not to know what’s next because He knows.  He has a plan better for me and my fiancé than we could ever dream.

God wants me to sit in his peace when things get stressful and when I get scared about the future.  It’s been a hard and slow process learning how to just let God handle it.  Worrying about what’s next isn’t helping me.  It’s only hurting me.  I’m excited about my future, our future.  I can’t wait to see what God has in store for us!
