what you dont have, you don't need it now

I'm begining to think that we might need to live our lives knowing less than we want to know and having less than we're told we need.

I thought it was a phase. I have been learning to move from despairing in my situation, to coping with it. Now I'm moving from coping with it to living it out fully. I always have what I need. And I don't think that is exclusive to me and my situation. I am amazed when I come across people in incredibly difficult situations who are able to rest in God's provision.

These are thoughts.
Here are more.

What about when I don't know what I'm supposed to do, or even what I'm doing. I looked through the entire undergraduate catalog this weekend and could not find a single major that really grabbed me. But I do know that I want an education. So what do I do? I've already quit school... twice. I just want to be done with it.

But maybe I have what I need? Right? I just said that. The next step is actually believing it. Maybe I've been more responsible with the expectations of others than with the dreams God has given me.
