Pretty soon I will have to register for classes for next year. In preparation for this, I tried to plan out the rest of the classes I need to take to graduate: what classes, when I'd take them. I discovered I could easily graduate in another two years. But this made me wonder, why are we so concerned about planning out our lives? I do need to know what classes I need to take next semester and knowing what I will have to take to graduate is helpful in determining this but I spend so much time analyzing the best way to arrange my classes and the best classes to take. I could probably take classes other than the ones I've chosen and things will still work out just fine.
It seems to me that our plans always fall short anyway and that sometimes it is a good idea to forget the planning and analyzing and just live. I had other plans for college than being in Toccoa, GA but that is where I am and I know it is exactly where I'm supposed to be. This is just one example of how my plans are so insignificant compared to what God has planned for me. Maybe my college experience would be much better if I really just experienced it and let God do the planning. I do not need to spend my time worrying about the future because I cannot possibly know what can happen to change my decisions. So I will register for my courses on March 30 and not worry about them again until next fall. And I can know, whatever happens, it is going to be okay.
