Life

Sometimes life catches you by surprise. So much has changed so quickly. Its in the subtle moments when I realize that only a year ago everything around me was so different. I living the college life surrounded by 32,000 other kids my age. I was in a holding place before being spit out into what they call "the real world." College was like a limbo, not exactly childhood but not adulthood either. I loved it. I embraced the fellowship, the late night diner visits, the sleepless nights staying up till 4 in the morning finishing a paper. Most of all I miss the opportunity to share the Gospel with the random person sitting in front of Mckeldin library.

 Fast forward a year later and I'm still at school but somehow I've gone backwards in time and I'm now in middle school classroom with 37 6th graders. Strangely enough I am standing in front of the classrooms screaming "BE QUIET STOP TALKING SIT DOWN" What happened? I drive home from a rough day to my apartment and I am folding laundry and while figuring out what to make for dinner before my husband comes home. YES MY husband. What?!? When did this happen?? 3 months ago to be precise.

 I'm married. I Georgia Yang, now Georgia Davis. I am married. That was not part of my four year plan. Actually that was not part of my life plan. That just shows how bad I am at making plans. Life has changed. Actually its like transformed. God has flipped my plans upside down and in the subtle moments I realize, how perfect God's plan is for me.

 I can't put together the right phrases to express how perfect life is right now. Not because it is easy, not because I am happy all the time, and not because my husband is awesome (which in fact he is). Life is perfect because God knows what I need right now. I am being challenged, stretched, and tested in ways I never could have imagined. I've been tempted with sins I never knew existed in my heart but God was gracious enough to give me the perfect circumstances and the perfect blessings to expose me and mold me.

 "Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds, for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness. And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing." James 1:2-4
