What do you want to do with your life?
This question seems to have become a companion over the past several months.
They say that every day is the beginning of the rest of your life…but then there are those times that are more important…the places where decisions are made with effect to change our lives forever. Although all choices hold this power to some degree, the ones I’m making now seem to have it more than others.
I like to call this place “graduation”; it fits – I’m going to graduate from high school, and possibly from everything I’ve ever known to this point in June. Everyone is giving me the impression that this is where the rest of my life begins. This is supposedly where everyone figures out what they are supposed to become and where their life is going to go…and so I keep hearing that question: What do you want to do with your life?
How do you explain to someone that all you want is to follow God, wherever that may lead? Let’s face it; people don’t really consider that to be a career…or a direction. But I do…
And sometimes that means trusting that He does have a plan, even if I can’t see it at the moment. “’For I know the plans I have for you,’ declares the Lord, ‘plans to prosper you
And not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future. Then you will call
Upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me
And find me when you seek me with all you heart.’”
~Jeremiah 29:11
So here I am, at the beginning of a new year and a new season. I don’t know what the future holds, or where I’ll be a year from now…but I’m excited to see where God will lead, and the things He will do. Finding Him is the greatest reward!
As we seek to live the set-apart life, we will nto likely be understood or appreciated by the world around us, often even teh Christian world. But we are not on this journey alone. Our Heroic Prince (Jesus Christ) is with us. ... In His presence is the fullness of joy. Let's live for His applause alone. ~Leslie Ludy, Authentic Beauty This is where the journey begins….
