Excitement for the Future

As much as future plans may scare us, they are just as exciting as they are scarry because absolutely anything can happen. If you are the type of person who's glass is half empty, this may not be an anxiety-free statement. If you are the type of person who's glass if half full, this idea brings you great excitement. I am this type of person. As worried or as uncertain as I may be about my future plans, I am still so excited to see what will actually happen. Think about it. Absolutely anything can happen. Never in my wildest dreams would I have imagined my life the way it is right now. Never. And yet here I am living it. To think of what the future can hold is unbelievable. You can think about the future and how things will turn out, but, as has been proven in my own life, my dreams do not even compare to reality. Reality has always turned out to be greater. So here I am trying to figure out my future, trying to plan as much as I can. Why bother? To a certain extent you do need to plan, but to another extent you don't. This is how I see it. If I continue to grow closer to Christ and if I cotinue striving for virtue, the most wonderful things will happen in my life. I can imagine getting married and having a family and living the dream, but I don't even think that my imagination can actually contemplate how good it will actually be, that is if I continue to grow in holiness. Therefore, the future should bring me excitement because great things will happen if I continue to follow Christ. You can only worry so much about the future. The rest of the time you should just be excited about it. I am excited. I can't wait to see how it will turn out.
