One month to go!

Yesterday, a dear friend of mine pointed out to me that the two of us only have one month of university left.  One month.  And that blew me away.
At first, I was thrilled!  Only one more month of my B.A. studies?  Wooohoo!
And today I find myself back where I was before.  Not that I can't see the finish line any more.  My friend's point made me look up and see that (no more head-down anymore!).  But in light of my impending graduation, I find myself worrying even more.
I am having a very hard time believing that my plan for the next few years may not be God's plan for my next few years.

I want to get into JET.
Maybe God doesn't have that in store for me.
I want to become a teacher.
Maybe God doesn't have that in store for me.
I want to live in New Zealand (still).
Maybe God doesn't have that in store for me.

The list is longer, but I am just barely clinging to the promises God has given me.   And yet, I just reminded another friend (not the one above) that the plans God has for us, although they may not be our plans, these plans give us HOPE and a FUTURE.  And right now, that is what I am holding onto.
