Into the Future

If we all had superpowers and could see into the future, life would be just a little bit easier.

Adulting. The hardest part of growing up. No matter what, you are never prepared for adult life. They can try to teach you life skills, make sure you have common sense, teach you the ins and outs of banking, but there as teenagers we just roll our eyes and out the other ear all that wisdom goes. Also, no one can really teach you about the in between times. The crossroads you will most definitely come across. I mean, how do you know which path you are supposed to take. Sometimes it isn’t a complete cross either, instead it is just a fork. Left or right only. The only thing you can count on in times like these is the fact that you don’t know what is further down the road in any direction. You could be choosing the road that ends at the edge of a cliff, which would be good if we had the ability sprout wings and fly whenever we wanted. Unfortunately, people tell you to be cautious and not reckless. They tell you to think about your options and consequences. Well, guess what, all cross roads pretty much end in a leap of faith. Just like jumping into a pool you close your eyes, hold your nose, and you leap. All the while praying your bathing suit doesn’t malfunction. To those who can go under without holding your nose closed….I applaud you. When I try to do that I get that horrible feeling of snorting chlorinated water.

“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”
–Jeremiah 29:11
