40 years in the wilderness

Have you ever felt like you were the Israelites and you have been wondering around in a wilderness for 40 years? Well it hasn't been 40 years for me but while i was looking for some pictures of my brother i came across a journal from my sucess class i had to take my freshmen year in college. I was looking through it and i didn't really like what i read in there. I had these big hopes and dreams for my life after college. I wasn't suppose to be living at home. i was suppose to be out changing peoples life, traveling the world and loving life. I noticed how some things in that i read in there are still the same and that wasn't cool to see it because things that i knew were true then I accepted and didn't bother changing. Now I am 24 years old living at home, back at start wondering what i want to do and knowing that this time I am going to do it God's way because doing things my way caused me to lose things in my life that meant so much to me. Things i would probably still have if i would have followed God. So it hasn't taken me 40 years but it has taken me 24 and I am glad that i can start getting out of this wilderness and starting to live a God fulfilled life.
