In a Nutshell

From the movie Sweet Home Alabama:

"What is it with you Southern girls? You can't make the right decision until you've tried all the wrong ones!"

Let's see: clothes, men, hairstyles, shoes, life decisions, majors/careers... just about anything!










Today, I've had a very Southern girl kind-of-day! The kind of day where I wonder if I will ever find what it is I am looking for! The kind of day when I look at photography websites of engagement pictures, weddings and all things related to love. I begin to feel like a child, as he/she watches his/her bright red balloon float farther and farther away into the sky. My own dreams slip through my fingers, just like those red balloons. 

As I snap myself back into reality, I am reminded of the best plan. God's plan. His plan is more concrete, more perfect, more timely, more special, more wonderful, more planned out. I must wait. I need to stop worrying, wishing, planning the questions of who and when and where and how! I must wait, still. In the meantime,  I will laugh with my friends. I will laugh at myself, and enjoy the time I have where I have it.

See just like a Southern girl, got to go through all my plans to acknowledge His perfect plan.
