Life As We Know It

I was in the mood for some country music so I hunted down some of Lady Antebellum's new stuff and fell in love with quite a few of their songs. The song "Life As We Know It" (lyrics at the bottom) really stuck out to me. I am growing up, and much as I don't want to accept that, I have to. Of course, like I always say, I will only act my age when I am dead. Not acting your age is a choice but becoming and adult is not, which is dumb. College ends in less than one week. AHH. I move in just under a month. AHHH AHHH. I know that I have committed myself to ministry and I can't back out, but part of me wants to.

I have found that change is a positive thing. It is hard, but does life exist with out change? I am convinced that we just become adjusted to small, slow changes and when the big ones come we often feel that we don't know how to handle them. After all these years of sudden changes, I feel like I should be more prepared and maybe I am, maybe I am just overthinking it... like I always do. God has pulled me through, and He'll do it again. He always does. I will handle this, I will make it through. One day at a time.

One day at a time. That is how I'll be handling these changes. Some days will be better than others. One day. 24 hours. I can make it through one day. I can survive 24 hours. But I can't do it alone, I need God, my family, friends, prayers, patience, understanding, and a lot of love.

I know the road you know ain't quite the way you planned it
But the twists and turns are all part of the magic
And believe me you'll get through it, you'll see

So don't be afraid of the things you cannot change
As the sun surely follows the rain
I believe that you can't try to lead or control it
'Cause that's just life as we know it
