I have been hoping that I could figure out what I was supposed to do with my life since my freshman year. I have had twelve majors at OSU, if that tells you anything. Once I realized that I couldn't choose my life plan alone I decided to give it to Jesus...what an idea, right?
I only wish I would have given my life plan to Him MUCH sooner. I most def would have saved myself a lot of money on the whole student loan thing.
This is how it happened...I was at Overflow, which is this awesome worship night for college students. I have the attention span of a squirrel so when I worship I have to keep my eyes closed or I cannot focus. I was just doing my thing when the band played this song about giving your life to the Lord, not as in like being saved but as in working to better His kingdom. I got chill bumps from head to foot, which is odd because I am always that awkward sweaty girl. I immediately started praying: "Lord if you will show me what you want me to do with my life, I will do it. No questions asked."
As I said amen Jesus showed me that he wants me to go help with the modernization of Christianity and the church in Europe. As soon as He showed me this I immediately thought, "HOLD IT!!! Are yooouuu suuure?!?!" Then I remembered that I had told Him "no questions asked" and reminded myself that fear is not of the Lord and that if this is His plan then it will be awesome, maybe not a walk in the park but hey those are pretty boring anyways:)
So now, here I am, in the beginning stages of a life long adventure. Am I scared? Yes, but at the end of the day I realize that Jesus has it all figured out and just because I don't know whats up ahead doesn't mean that He doesn't.
Like my good friend, Martin Luther King Jr. said, "faith is taking the first step, even when you don't see the whole staircase."
