To The Girl Who Just Doesn't Know

It is okay to not be okay.

It is okay. It is okay to not know what you want to do with your future. It is okay to not know what you want to major in. It is even okay to not know what you want for lunch. Most importantly, it is okay to not be okay.

How comforting is that? I love knowing that someone bigger, more powerful, and all knowing that has my back. Every single day we have to choose to put our trust in Him. Gather our worries and lay them down at the feet of Jesus. The Bible tells us hundreds of times "Do not be afraid", so what is there to fear, right? Trust me, I know it's not that easy. Faith is hard. Especially during hard times, because who wants to believe that such a loving, gracious God would allow us to be so lost and confused.

Psalm 119:105 says "Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path." God does allow us to go through trials and tribulations, and he will give us more than we can handle, but he is faithful. He gives us these experiences so we can be a light to others in their time of need.

What we, as a society, need to understand is brokenness is not beautiful. It is wretched and ugly. The beauty is in the intricate, artistic, and divine way God can bring beauty out of brokenness.

We can't be perfect. But what is so good is that we don't have to be. Life is confusing and lonely and hard sometimes and all I really know is the answer is Jesus.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

"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!
