I would have laughed

I'm pretty good about remembering dates, so when I woke up this morning, I remembered immediately that it was May 12th. Insignificant other than the fact that it's been exactly TWO years since I graduated from high school. Time sped by for sure - I can't believe it's been that long already.

Two years ago, I'd have laughed if you told me that I'd be living in an apartment with three girls from Ohio and Arizona. I would have laughed if you told me that I would be a sophomore at Moody Bible Institute - Spokane. I would have laughed if you would have told me that I would be living in the Northwest.

I would have laughed about a lot of things.

That to me speaks volumes about the power of God in my life. Because He's been leading me, I've done so many things that I wouldn't have dreamed of, and I've loved them. I've seen a lot, done a lot, and definitely love God more because of it.

Two years ago, I would have laughed without a doubt. Or run away.

But today, I rejoice, and thank God.

...For His timing (revealing things bit by bit and not all at once), for His faithfulness, and for His continuing to give me new things. And I pretty much can't wait to see what my life will be like on May 12th, 2011... two more years. I'd probably laugh about it now :)
