Being a college student kinda sucks. Besides all the anxiety, lately I have been struggling with patience. I have been praying to Jesus for a while about how I am trying very hard to have hope in my future. All I see around me is people beginning relationships, getting engaged or getting married.
Don't get me wrong, it's great being single because I still have so much of myself that I need to figure out. Yet, there is still a longing in my heart. I want to fall in love. I'm a hopeless romantic, I can't help it. I think one of my biggest fears is being alone.Until I remember that I am literally only 19 years old and I have so much time.
"When the time is right, I the Lord, will make it happen" -Isaiah 60:22
This verse really hit me hard.We live in God's time, not our own. That's why I believe destiny is stupid and doesn't exist. There is no such thing as destiny. What you may think is destiny, that's God.
For you, this scripture of letting God take care of things may look completely different, but it's the same concept. Regardless of what you need patience for, God will make it happen when the time is right.
For me, it's having patience to wait for the right person for me. It could be years from now or a few weeks, we just never know. We can't force things to happen. God has planned out our individual lives before we even took a breath. If we waste our time trying to make things happen and grow up too fast, we miss everything happening in front of us. God has a bigger plan for us than we have ever had for ourselves. Have a little faith in what will be.
