These years between "adolecence" and "adulthood"

So this season of life, some people in the christian circles call it the "college and career" group or age, some might call us the "young adult" group.  People know us as "kids" who cannot commit to anything, or who don't know what we are doing with our lives. Either way this is who we are and where we are at. 

I have come to the conclusion in my own life that this time in life has been a season of seeing and figuring out ( discovering sounds to smart for me) who I am.  Much of this confusion and ....lack of direction... has been because I have been  learning, and ( ok fine) discovering who I am.  It has been a time of discovering things in life like, brokenness, things like death.  For me it has been a time of realizing that these things are no longer a childhood joke, that life is not a video game anymore that you can "reset" yourself if you die.  Realizing that people die, and that in the face of death,  literally in the reality of death, we as humans, don't really have much say in what happens.  People die, it is inevitable, some in their time, some way before their time.  I have discovered the reality of the brokenness we live in.  How this brokenness affects everything, everything we do and strive for.  

Much of the confusion and frustration in my life in the past couple of months has been because my eyes have been opened to some of the things that are  a reality in life.  And to be honest with you it has stopped me right in my tracks because some days I just can't sort all of this stuff out.....
