*ahhh* It's Friday. Why does it not seem like Friday?? Oh well. I'm super happy that it is. Because tonight is Tale rehearsal. And not just any rehearsal. We're running things with both ensembles. I'm so pumped to see all my British friends drunk. ;) lol
Hmm...such a lovely week. Between rehearsal Tuesday evening, school, precious times with my best friend Tessie, hanging out with my nephew, a nice chat with sweet people I admire, music, and more, It's been... adventurous! Not to mention a super idea I had late last night...I'm so excited to try it out this Thursday. Oh, and good news: I'm packing my sister along with me to practice tonight, so I may just come home with some pictures. Keep watching.

It's so interesting looking back - time. How it flies. This week I've been thinking about my last year at school, in knowing that their Talent Meet is going on. (Can it really be a year ago that my phone went off during meet??! lol) But you know, it's funny - some days I close my eyes and those days at school just seem like a dream. I don't remember. Life here seems like it's been forever and always. Then others I blink and I'm there all over again. Walking the halls, going to choir, playing crazy games with my kindergarten friends, watching the football games during 1 hour breaks, talking with my teachers. Time. How it flies. And how it changes things.
Time is pretty much unpredictable. But there's one thing I've learned about time and change - in it all, there is one Constant. One thing stays the same. The one thing I can depend on is that He knows just what will be. He knows just where He wants me. I tell you, I've never been on such a roller coaster ride as the last two years - talk about changes. I'd like to be able to say that I completely trusted Him in it and that I never doubted for a minute - but the truth is, there were a ton of days that I just wanted to quit. I was tired of my mom being sick, tired of being away from my family, tired of school. For a long while I struggled - wondering why, why He would suddenly thrust me into a school life of which I had never known and of which I was terrified, only to bring me back home again the next year after I had just adjusted myself. But now I can look back, and I know. It's not always about the plan for my life. It's not about finding what He has in mind for me. It's seeing, watching where His plan is already in motion, and finding where He has me to fit into that. Where He wants to use me in the plan He has already set. So I can rest in the changes. I can rest knowing that He'll push me and toss me just where He wants to use me in His story. And it'll be just fine. Cause it's His plan, not mine. That year, He wanted me in that school for His purposes. He had a plan that He wanted me to be part of. And now, He has me here. How I enjoy each day seeing just where I fit into His plan for me here! How awesome it is to be invited to join in the Master's plan.
Today I encourage you to watch. Watch in the changes to see what the Father has in motion. He invites you to join Him in it.
