Perhaps I'm not the only one.

Ok, so this may seem silly, but I put a lot of stock in music. God has spoken to me through songs more times than I could possibly count. When I was trying to decide if I wanted to move to TX, He spoke to me in song. When I was figuring out how I was going to handle my college situation, a song came on the radio that spoke to me in such a way that I was able to move forward in my decision making process.  I think that God has the ability, and the sense of humor, to speak to each person right where they are sitting at any given time. He knows what will speak to us the most effectively and He knows how to get His point across. For me, it just so happens that this often takes place when I am blaring my stereo as I drive on one of my 40 minute stints to and from my various jobs. I love that He gets me and the way I think....that is not always an easy task.
Anyways, I have heard the song "You Can't Hurry Love" on the radio at least 4 times in the past week alone, as if that wasn't enough, yesterday it was directly preceded by the song "Love Isn't Always On Time." Ok God, I get the picture :)
In all seriousness though, I have been feeling my age lately. True, I am only 21 and I'm probably considered in my prime, but I guess I am feeling the reality of the fact that I am in my 20's. I guess I'm silly, but unlike  a lot of people, I always considered my teens to be my teen years to be the crazy ones, my 20's to be the career/finding my niche years etc etc. Seeing as how my 20's are officially under way...I guess I find myself wondering if I have found my niche. I used to tell my friends that I was going to get married by the time I was 25 and no later. Now I realize that A) It is completely ridiculous to put time limits on things like that and B) 3 1/2 years is really not a long time. I guess I just think too much for my own good. Yeah, I'm pretty sure that is what it is.
In other news, I have realized that the 90's weren't the worst decade for fashion...this allows me to transition to the other realization that I have had. I have gone far too long without going thrifting and currently vintage clothes have about the same appeal level as Mr Darcy...which is really saying something if you know me.
Ok, that is enough . I will say goodbye for now. Thanks for falling victim to my "I'm stuck inside all day due to snow and I have nothing else to do" spiel.
