The Future

The future is both exciting and scary to think about for people, because It could turn good or bad. It all depends how you look at it I think. I think that my future is going to be both scary and exciting, because I will someday get healed and the scary part is learning how to be on my own . I'm sure that I will be on my own much sooner than that-- in fact I will be. Are you scared or excited about your future or both?

I've tended to worry about the future because I wanted control. But control is only an illusion - no one has control of essentially anything. I'm not sure I have control of myself. So if I accept that I have no control and I can trust that Jesus will see me through then I can relax and I don't have to work so hard to make "it happen". The scared me doesn't have to be so scared then. I sometimes feel like my future is uncertain but I realize that whatever happens will happen and I just need not to try and mess it up myself (like God save me from myself). The world and the devil will try and mess things up but that is where trusting in Jesus helps out a lot. I can then accept that the Lord is working things out and the world and the devil can't touch me. Anyhow it is very nice to see your communication. God Bless - Dave the Slave

I think I get both scared and excited. I get scared sometimes simply because it is unknown, and because a lot of things are out of my control. But I also get excited, knowing that God is in control of my future. He knows those things that are unknown to me, and I know He always takes care of me. He will be there for everything He asks me to do, even if it's hard.

When thinking about the future I often get that adrenaline rush feeling in my stomach. It is unknown but that makes it exciting. Unknown equals endless possibilities. I have been thinking about the future a lot recently because of all the transition we have been going through. It actually gets me excited about my life right now when I spend time thinking of the future because it helps me see my present circumstances (whether good or bad) as stepping stones into something even greater that God has planned. That isn't to say that I am displeased with my present, but the future always represents creative potential that has been unrealized.

So dude why haven't you kept writing lately? And by the way where does the peace out Maynard come from? I was just looking over your blog and thinking this is really cool. My wife was looking at your blog and thought it was great. Dave your friendoard
