Well, today has been an interesting day. As I've been home I've realized just how much things change, even in just a short amount of time. Change occurs, people become different, and life continues progressing. I believe that there is truly a purpose behind each alteration that takes place in our lives. Often times we look too hard at the negative aspect of situations though and miss what we could be learning or experiencing. Change is good, even if it seems bad at the time, as long as God's fingerprints are found all over it. So here is a poem I again wrote as a freshman in high school but am just now beginning to truly see how amazingly true it is and how the changes that occurred during and even after those four years have truly helped shape who I am. Thank you Lord Jesus!!!!!
Things I Wish Were Different
If only I could've made the grades.
If only I could've made the cut.
If only I could've made it work.
If only I would've done something else,
it wouldn't have turned out this way.
If only I were different.
If only I weren't me.
If only I were someone else.
If only I could change.
I wish I'd made a different choice.
I wish things would've worked.
If only things were different,
Then I wouldn't be me, you wouldn't be you,
and this world wouldn't be what it is today.
If only everything was better.
But if only this all happened, things just might be worse.
Praise God during the good times but seek and praise Him during the trials of life as well! He is good all the time and He will never fail you!!!!

"Two roads diverged in a yellow wood...I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference..."
Robert Frost agrees, methinks.
