I Don't Know What God's Plan Is For Me

I've been a writing a lot of article about God recently, but it feels like the place I need to be in my life. I don't know what God's plan is for me. All I know is that he has brought me to this point in my life. He has brought me to this school. He has brought me to my major. He has brought me to be part of all of the things I am a member of on campus, including the Odyssey. So here I am talking about Him in an Odyssey article.

I don't know what God's plan is for me. I don't know how He is going to use my life to honor him. But, I was reading a devotional out of Matthew West's book Today is Day One, and there were a few lines that stuck out to me.

In the first paragraph, he says "God doesn't use everybody the same way." I really like this line. It served as a reminder to me that it doesn't matter how small of a role my purpose will seem to play. It will make an impact in ways that only God will ever know.

Later, he goes on to say " When you're truly surrendered, God pours into you the abilities you need to walk out His will for the rest of your life." This is something else I needed to be reminded of. I need to be reminded that I am capable of carrying out God's plan for my life. That He has given me the ability to do this. And finally that it will all be okay in the end. I will not fail God. I will be able to complete his plan for my life.

Finally, something I find very important is to know that you do have a purpose, but you might not know it. You might find it out one day or you might never fully understand it. Just trust that God has a plan for you and will work through you in mysterious ways. I don't know what God's plan is for me, but that is okay.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!

There is nothing quite like family.

Family is kinda like that one ex that you always find yourself running back to (except without all the regret and the angsty breakup texts that come along with it).

No matter how long your class is, there's always time for the mind to wander. Much like taking a shower or trying to fall asleep, sitting in a classroom can be a time when you get some of your best ideas. But, more than likely, you're probably just trying to mentally cope with listening to a boring lecturer drone on and on. Perhaps some of the following Aristotle-esque thoughts have popped into your head during class.

Bob's Burgers is arguably one of the best and most well-written shows on tv today. That, and it's just plain hilarious. From Louise's crazy antics to Tina's deadpan self-confidence, whether they are planning ways to take over school or craft better burgers, the Belchers know how to have fun. They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.

We're in college, none of us actually have anything together. In fact, not having anything together is one of our biggest stressors. However, there's a few little things that we do ever so often that actually make us feel like we have our lives together.

1. Making yourself dinner

And no this does not include ramen or Annie's Mac & Cheese. Making a decent meal for yourself is one of the most adult things you can do living on campus. And the food is much better than it would be at the dining hall.
