Life keeps catching me by surprise these days. It just doesn't look much like I thought it would. I tend to be a very goal oriented person. So, with the big things, I usually have a bit of a road map that I plan on following. Lately, it's just not working. I keep making a wrong turn....heading down one-ways, running into dead ends it feels like. In those moments, it's hard not to focus on the disappointment.
However, I have been reflecting on some of the more significant course corrections thus far in my life. I have been realizing that my disappointment has led to new opportunity. Some of the things that I am most proud of are the fruits of seeking new opportunity. My music, my book, my master's degree and my work with fighting child trafficking in Guatemala have all come about in this way. None of these things were in my plans, but they are some of what I consider my life highlights.
I'm realizing that I am doing a little bit of this right now. Career wise, I had the steps all laid out...and it hasn't quite worked out that way. But go ahead life, bring on the unexpected. It keeps it exciting I suppose, and who knows how I will reflect on this time of my life later. Maybe, I'll be able to list off another life highlight. The point is, that I am realizing that this moment of my life is not the end of my story, it's just a chapter. Just a part of the journey.

....it's a little embarrasing...but I really like this Justin Bieber song. It's probably because I pray for a better day.
