When I wake up, I brush my teeth, wash my face, and read some of God’s word. Then, I eat breakfast. I love breakfast. There isn’t a morning that doesn’t have one. Depending on the morning, I will throw cereal, flax seed, and almond milk in a bowl or I will throw a granola bar into the car and head to class. Every morning has its unique plans, but I seem to do pretty much the same thing.
It is very rare that our routines change. Usually monumental things occur before we mix up our routines. On the horizon, I see one of those monuments.
Since I am in my last semester of senior year, college has come up more than a few times. I actually went to visit a college in Abilene this past weekend and it definitely felt like a big change from what I am “comfortably” doing right now. A new campus, new teachers, new friends, a new bed, new classes, and new experiences. Lots of new things means my routine is most likely going to change.
This upcoming change has caused me to get more emotional and contemplative. With big decisions, lots of thought processes happen. “Is college for me?” “Why do I want to go?” “Where do I want to go?” “Does it matter?” “Do I matter?” Where do I find purpose?” I think we all can relate to the depth that our thoughts can sometimes go. It seems endless. Yet, God is our constant. He is our rock.
“Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in your sight, O Lord, my rock and my redeemer.” Psalm 19:14
Everyone has their own routine and schedule. There are typical things that we tend to do and are comfortable in. But, if life takes a twist or the boat gets rocked, God is our constant. He is reliable and a wonderful counselor.
His qualities have been magnified as I have made small decisions for this coming fall. If you ever wonder where God will take you, don’t feel alone in your questioning. We all wonder what God has for us, especially in the daily circumstances. Our job is to rely on God as our rock. We can be sure that when our routines get mixed up a bit, God is not shaken or surprised.
