In real life, I am your typical teenage college student, unsure about most things in life, yet thinking I know it all.
Yet I have been blessed with the experiences I need to learn and grow each day.
In real life, I have tried so many life paths and failed at most of them in pursuit of something I believe is right.
Yet I have been blessed with an abundance of possibilities to work at God's great plan for me.
In real life I fight with my brother and my mom all the time.
Yet we also laugh, enjoy each other, and love each other more than anything.
In real life, I lean on my best friends for support, and love going to church, though it is sometimes hard to get up for on Sunday mornings.
Yet God has allowed me to reach out through volunteering at the church VBS and Open Pantry as a result of being at church.
In real life, I workout and diet more than I probably should, and I don't pray enough.
Yet God has given me grace and unending love, and that is more than enough.
In real life, life is messy and full of stories that we think don't belong. Yet this is God's creation and story, making it perfect and beautiful, giving me hope, giving me a reason to continue on because this story will be incredible-- and that's His promise, and God doesn't break His promises!

Just last night I saw a rainbow and your last paragraph is the perfect caption for what God wants to speak to me today...
