Changes

Hey guys! It feels like it has been a while when I guess it really hasn't.  Anyways, I'm sorry but I probably won't be blogging much this month. I have weddings, graduations, and a vacation this month so I have every weekend filled. YUCK! Okay anyways I went to Jana's Graduation today. Oh my goodness, that is some boring stuff right there. I played games on my phone the whole time. I just can't believe she's old enough to graduate college, much less have a baby! Gosh! Like Luke said in his last blog, It seems like all the sudden all these MASSIVE changes are coming about in people's lives. From Graduating to getting married to having babies. I mean it is hard to believe that in a little over a month my big sister will have a baby and I will be Aunt KK. Strange. In less than a month, Luke who is one of the greatest people ever will live what about 4 hours away. Who's going to take me to awesome concerts and make me laugh so hard that.... well not going to share that one with the world, but Luke you know what I'm talking about. It's crazy to think about. It feels like I'm just standing still watching life pass by. If that makes any sense whatsoever. It seems like just yesterday I was booger fishing in the puddles with my sister, or when Jana got her first car and I thought she was the coolest person ever, or when MaryBeth graduated High School. Gosh time definitely flys. But as I look back there are so many things I wish I could change and so many things I wish I could prevent and so many things I wish I could just live through one more time because it was such an awesome moment. I love change but then again I hate it. Somethings I want to stay exactly the same forever just because I like it that way and I am comfortable. But right now I am ready for these huge changes. I am so ready for God to take me out of my comfort zone and to gain the gutsy faith I have been praying for. I have this feeling that God has HUGE plans for every single person who willingly accepts his changes and lets him work in there life even when it isn't nessecarily comfortable. Have you ever pray for God's will to be done in your life? When you did, did you really mean it? I always pray that but honestly most of the time I haven't meant it. I think we all know in the back of our minds that sometimes God's will can put us in harm's way or take us somewhere "uncomfortable" and sometimes it can even mean risking everything. And knowing that we ask God for his will to be done NO MATTER WHAT but we do not mean it. As humans we naturally want to stay comfortable. I remember reading something on my friend Jake's facebook and it said, " We always ask for God to rain down on us, but when he does we become wet, sticky, and uncomfortable. So we run under shelter so we won't feel the rain anymore." Well I am sooooo ready to be uncomfortable! I am ready for this change. I am ready for God's will to be done in my life, because I know his plans our bigger and much better than my own. So I want God to rain on me, and I not only want to be able to stand there and not run away because it's uncomfortable, I want to DANCE IN THE RAIN! I want God to lead me through the rain until I see the rainbow he wants to give me..... Sorry I'm getting a little carried away! But I have this desire to be uncomfortable now. I have this desire to be rained on by God's spirit! So how are you taking these changes in your life? Are you avoiding being rained on at all costs possible just so you will be comfortable! If so I invite you to come dancing with me in the rain! I love you all very much! I hope you all have a wonderfully superb week!
