When will I ever graduate......

I've waited awhile to talk about this, mostly because I haven't had a chance to talk about it, but also because I'm finally coming to the realization of the issue!

I sat down with the advisor over the Biology department a few weeks ago and realized that my advisor, myself and the registrar's office missed a class that I have to take to graduate( I even had my appeal approved to graduate months ago and have been getting graduation things in the mail)!

After a few hours of crying, questioning, and talking things over.... I realized that everything happens for a reason, even having to stay in college another semester for just one class, which was what I did this semester!!!

This past sunday's service helped confirm that God wants me at Kennesaw for another semester for a reason. My Pastor from home along with good friends of ours Curtis and his wife were talking about the river flowing. No matter where the river takes me, I'm not going to get in the way! I want to 'be in the boat'!!!! I don't know what the reason is for me staying another semester...maybe God wants me there to continue the bible study I have and to stay involved with Wesley. Maybe he knows that something better will work out for me if I wait to look for a job in the summer opposed to the first of the year... I have no idea, all I know is his plans are greater than mine!!!!

I'm really ready to get out of college for awhile and have been, but I've finally become ok with the idea of waiting a few more months to graduate! God knows what's best for me and obviously it wasn't time for me to start life in the 'real world' yet and so I'm willing to wait for his timing!

Until then... i'm still going to class, writing papers and studying for test...FUN FUN!

Hey Lindsay! For some reason (God) I decided to read your blog this morning after seeing your link to it on facebook....then I read it...amazing! We had a missionary come preach at our church this past Sunday...the message...STAY IN THE BOAT! The Lord told you to get in the boat and even if you feel like you are going no where...stay in the boat because he told you to get in!

Just because you aren't going anywhere shouldn't make you question if it's the right boat because it is the right boat! So hang in there and JUST KEEP ROWING! If you just keep rowing when the Lord shows up you will make it where you are supposed to be just like the disciplines in the midst of the sea when Peter walked on the water!

SO HAVE A GREAT DAY and keep rowing!!!!

His plan is PERFECT for you. our limited knowledge sometimes makes it hard to understand the suffering of waiting. God's got a specific plan for Chemmie Therber, and is revealing it to you in the way He sees fit. Keep keepin' on.

It's OK! Take your time! I know it's frustrating because you are ready to move on to the next phase of life, but it's really ok. Just enjoy where you are in life and know that God is in control of it!
