As I seem to be a collector of scarves, I find no reason to stop now. I will be on the hunt for a crisp creme white cashmere-esque of a scarf. I'm assuming everything I wear this fall and winter will be topped off with that scarf....

Lots of things happen in life that you don't expect, both good and bad, they surprise you either way.
When these "things" give you their happenstance you have to almost redirect your surroundings to fit the new mold.
There' s a quote which I'm sure I've quoted on here before in some sentence form or another and it goes a little something like this..."You want to make God laugh? Tell Him your plans."
Without a doubt I believe that.

The other day I got a text from the girl who would be my future roomie-roommate, as in we should share an actual room in the apartment I'm getting with another friend. So I get this txt and in summation, she was no longer able to do it. I was angry at first because I thought that the least she could have done was call me- texting seems like such an easy way out sometimes. I was also angry because her being my roomie meant that I could actually afford to live in the apartment. (ooooh the trees and pool, theater and location) Were it not for her, I could no longer be there.
Needless to say my status on facebook changed to 'I'm freaking out'. I swear I try not to be frantic. I feel like I've lived my life with such carelessness at times...which ever way the wind chose to blow, I'd follow it into the dark.
God has a funny way of working things out- beyond what we can comprehend or want to happen. After having talked to my other original roommate, we both believe it is for the best.
I realize right now, this very very millisecond of a second of a minute of an hour of this day that God is trying to pull me back in and make me realize that I can't lay out the best plans as I thought.
He was probably like, "Awesome, Betsy! I'm so glad you decided that's how your life was going to work out. Alright, now it's my turn to lead you! "
You know?
What up, Romans 8:28!!
"And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose."

Okay this I get.

Trust Him.
Trust Him.
Trust Him.

Still today I'm in need of a roommate or maybe an extra job/hours at work. Either way I believe He'll help me out. He always does....living a life of faith has given me a sense of normalcy.

.....hoping, wishing, wating
