Hopeful

I have toyed with the idea of starting a blog for a while, since it seems to be the trendy thing to do. But I never really had enough to say to put in a blog. I mean how interesting is the life of a twenty-something single girl who is moving back in with her parents? Add that to the fact that I am technologically inept and you have a pretty lame blog. But the good news is that you don’t have to read this is you don’t want to. The truth is I have terrible follow-through and it is not likely that anything will develop, but, well, we shall see won’t we?

I am a bit afraid though because it is really easy to share really personal stuff with a computer and feel a disconnect with the people who are on the other side. It seems to be really unhealthy to me that I can easily bear my soul for the whole world to see but I can’t sit down and be vulnerable with my friends. Although I am hoping that world has better things to do than read my blog.

Since this is my first official entry, lets evaluate my life for a minute:
I am 26 years old, not only am I unmarried (unlike many of my friends), but I have never dated anyone. That’s right, I am Drew Barrymore (Never Been Kissed? Anyone?).
I have two college degrees, and they are so valuable that they enabled me to get into graduate school. Jobs on the other-hand, my degrees are not so useful for.
And the best part of all is that I am at that stage in life where you either get married or move back in with your parents and since I am obviously in the second category, I am currently in the process of transferring my worldly possessions back into my childhood home. I am sure that you can imagine my enthusiasm.

But here is why I am not totally depressed about my life right now:

I have hope.

Hope. It is a simple four-letter word that is popular to throw around these days. It is easy to lose it and a lot of people are looking for it, but I have it. And it doesn’t disappoint. That is because I place my hope in the Lord and not in my present circumstances. I have hope that God has plans a purposes for my life. I have hope in His provision. I have hope in abundant life. I am actually pretty excited about this new stage of my life. It may not be the most glamorous or exciting, but it is new. And you get to wait and see what new and exciting things God is going to do! (I hope!)
