On Adulthood

Today I applied for my first credit card... It is weird to be an adult.

I get up, shower, put on my "work clothes", drive to work, work hard, get off, pay bills, make dinner, sleep. Occasionally have a social life somewhere in there. It is totally what I expected in some ways and totally different than what I thought it would be in others.

I have all this independence and responsibility and freedom. That part is great. I love it in fact.

Sometimes I get lonely because I have no friends yet, don't worry I am working on it.

Mostly, this whole venturing out on my own thing is challenging me to walk in the faith I have always claimed. Things haven't always been easy in my life but in the grand scheme of things I have a pretty cushy existence. Well, now I have all these things to "worry" about. Money is leaving faster than its coming in, my workplace is less than ideal to say the least and I have no support system near. I am doing way better with all of this than I ever thought I would be.

God is so present and faithful. I feel like for the first time in a long time I am living moment to moment with Him. I couldn't possibly be doing this otherwise. Its literally the scariest most wonderful thing I have ever done. Pray for me. This adventure is only beginning.
