Becoming Elizabeth and Fugate goes to College


Life marches on. If there's one thing I've learned in my realatively short existence, it's that. It seems like only yesterday I was a senior in high school and today I'm a senior in college. More abnormal than that, my cousin started college as a freshman yesterday. I knew there would undoubetedly come a day where my family would hopefully pursue higher education, yet for some reason or another, I didn't think today would be that day. Who would've thought that today, I sit at my desk as a college senior without a clue as to what she wants to do with her life. More importantly, she barely knows what to do with tomorrow. Yet for some strange reason I find comfort in my cluelessness. Crazy I know, but for reasons outside of my control, it always seems that my life takes a turn for the better when I don't know where to turn. Granted, I'm familiar with the One to turn to, and that is the key. Yet I guess at the end of the day it'd be nice to see where I'm going. But maybe, just maybe, it's more important to know where I've been. I serve a God capable of supplying all my needs, wants, and innermost desires. I've grown so much, and yet still have such a long road ahead. I started this blog as a college freshman. Contrary to public opinion at the time, I was faithful and did (to the best of my knowledge) record almost daily my thoughts. As unintellectual my thoughts may be, they are my thoughts. I can now look back on my not so recent past and see the hand of God guiding me through the midst of my cluelessness. As I become Elizabeth, I start to see the bigger picture for what it is, my life's story. It's not grand or glorious yet, and I'm starting to doubt it ever will be. But it's my life, and that's what really matters.

Sorry I'm late.

I'm so glad I don't have to know what my life is gonna be. I'd never be here now if I was following some long-term plan. And this is where I'm supposed to be. I hope I never plan life in multiple-year chunks.
