Line Dancing?

I am a very firm believer in the fact that God puts people in our lives, at specific times, for specific reasons. Whether we ever realize why or not; there is still always some sort of bigger plan. I can grasp comfort in this fact, and know that the certain few unpleasant characters I have let into my life, over its course, were there to teach me and lead me forward. I can also know that maybe sometimes God puts me in the paths of others for certain reasons as well. People who know me, know I have a strong faith- but it's not the kind of faith I can even describe because I am learning more about myself and the things above daily. The more I talk to my dad, the more I realize I have no denomination. I feel like I've been on two ends of the spectrum, and there is no middle ground. However, I do believe that everything is strongly the will of God, and I guess that gives me optimism and courage to move forward- regretting nothing because it's only made me wiser. Trials, struggles, mistakes- they will come and go for the rest of my life and realizing that these things aren't in my control, is always a little bit of comfort.

I remind myself of this, as I thank God, on those nights that I pray; for all the things he has given me. A mind, a body, legs that function, a heart that beats. The best family, and friends I could ask for. All things considered, I shouldn't ever really have anything to complain about. (Although, I will assure you, I can always find something).

I know this sounds like a bunch of nonsense ramblings, but I've had a lot on my mind lately. Sometimes I am angry, but I find so much comfort in knowing that everything happens for a reason. Especially since the reasons seem to be showing so brightly.

I have no idea what the future holds: it could hold tragedy, heartache, misfortune- it could hold success, celebrations, love; or it could hold a mixture.

I am just extremely thankful for all of the people in my life right now. I feel like my best friend is back after I unknowingly pushed her away. I feel like I am closer to my family- especially with this clear and open mind that I have taken back. I am making friends again. At the end of the day, there is always someone there if I need it.

School is going to be a struggle, but for once, I have the confidence to do well.

Anyway, enough ramblings, I'm out for the evening (in awhile) and maybe adventuring into a night of line dancing. We'll see.
