So, this is adult life, huh?
Work.
Internship.
Waking up early, whether you feel like it or not.
Cleaning the house on your nights off.
Scheduling your life around when the washing machine is finished.
Living paycheck to paycheck.
Communicating over email more than actually texting someone.
This morning my mom asked me what I was going to do tonight, since I have nothing going on. My response? "Oh, I think I'll mop the floors and and dust. Then I'll start supper."
That's when it hit me. Sweet great balls of fire; I'm an adult.
Now that this realization has just hit me at full force, I'm really not sure what to think.
Is this what I though my life would be at age 18? No, sir. Not at all. Not in the nearest way, actually.
But am I upset about it? Not really. I mean, I don't think I know of another 18 year old that's doing what I'm doing, but I'm okay with it.
Ya know, the more I think about it, I'm really thankful for where I'm at it life. I'm learning SO much.
I have a job I love; my co workers are like family.
My internship is the best thing that's every happened to me.
Waking up early is really good for me- I get alone time with the Lord.
A clean house is better than a dirty one, right?
We all need clean laundry, I mean commoooonnn.
Living paycheck to paycheck is teaching me to really watch how I spend my money and challenging me to ask the question, "Do I really need this?"
and Emailing over texting.. well, I'm really bad at texting. So that's just whatever.
I feel like the Lord is just really using this season in my life to prepare me for bigger and better things- I basically skipped over the typical teenager years and was dropped into adult life. I mean, you can't tell me the Lord lead me though this all and didn't have this giant, incredible plan for my life; right?
He's such a cool guy, isn't He?
:)
Until next time~
