Where I'm Supposed To Be

Recently, I have discovered that I am exactly where I am supposed to be. That is being a student at GA State, living in Stone Mountain, and going to church in Loganville. And I'm definitely not where I am at because of my doing, but it is God's doing. I tried to initially go to college in California, God closed that door. I went to college in Chattanooga for a semester, and for some reason God gave me the vision to come back to Atlanta. So I came back to Atlanta and went to GA State and I eventually tried to get into UGA, but God closed that door when they were not going to give me enough credit hours to make it worth it. So I am still at GA State. Where I am pretty sure I will finish  my college career at here in the next couple of years. It is just now, though, that I am beginning to see the reasons why I am still at State. 

I am starting to see how GA State is perfect for me. It is a school where you can be involved or as uninvolved as you like. You can come and go as you please. Other people do not bother you.  Everything is pretty close to each other. It allows independent folk like me to be independent. At the same time, you can be involved with all kinds of different programs. clubs, and such. It just works for me. 

Also, staying at State has allowed me to continue working with 104.7 The Fish. A job that I like very much. It is allowing me to get some experience in the radio world at a major station in a top 10 market. It is a very cool thing.

Also, I am located right between school and my parents & siblings. I still get to see them whenever I want, which is an option that I sorta like. With my siblings being so much younger than I am, I am glad that I get to see them grow up. I could easily be off in California and only seem them two or three times a year, and I would have missed out on so much with them. 

Finally, staying at State has allowed me to continue going to church in Loganville. A church that I was a founding member of. A church where I help with the youth and am somehow a deacon. A church where I have literal family. A church where I have church family. A church where I have close friends that are way older than I am. A church that simply fits me. 

While I look at all of the things staying at State has allowed me to do, I become even more amazed at God's plan for our lives. He really really really does know what's best for us in the end. I just hope He will continue to direct me where I need to go because I know I can definitely not arrive where I'm supposed to be without Him.
