Uncertainties

Well. It's March. Clearly I didn't meet my exact challenge. Blogging everyday for 28 straight days, while working full-time AND getting ready to move proved to be near impossible. I made 13 out of the 28 days in February, and I figure that was good. I did not want to give you all so-so blog posts, so I decided to go for quality and not quantity. Ah, life lessons.

Even though my challenge is semi-complete, I will be continuing to blog about random things in life, as usual. Today's blog: Uncertainty.

I feel like we all, at one point in life, have felt nothing but uncertainty about the future. Or even the present. To me, it's so interesting how we can look out at the people in the universe, and tell ourselves that we are the only one struggling. The only one who has fear. The only one fighting a battle. The only one uncertain about the future. It's because, as human beings, we learn to put on a front and face the world head-on. Or most of us do. But the fact of the matter, is that we are all faced with uncertainties. And until we admit to ourselves what they are, we are going in circles.

I remember when I went to Lithuania several years ago. Strange language, strange land, and 3 college students. We had to learn, on our own, money exchange, how to get from city to city, where to stay, and how to run these camps. I had never been faced with more uncertainties, then standing on that curb, intitially, in Siauliai, Lithuania with John and Brittney. It was hard. We messed up. Had to start over sometimes. But you know what? That was that one of the best experiences of my life. Learning how to LIVE INTO the uncertainties in life.

So, today, that is what I'm learning to do once again. Live into the uncertainties of life. I may not know much...but I do know that continuing to put one foot in front of the other, staying true to one's self, and stopping to enjoy to journey will never let you down.
