A season of preparation, they say, but no one really tells you what it means.
My friends are finding jobs, planning weddings, buying apartments and baby clothes, and I’m… well, blogging.
The past three months in my season of preparation have been about living in the present.
As my peers like to remind me, I am extraordinarily blessed to know where I’m going and what I’m doing after graduation (well, sort of), but it does make the eleventh and twelfth quarters of academic life seem a little lackluster.
And beyond school, it is a choice, a daily act of obedience to the Lord, to continue to love the people around me, to invest in their lives and our relationships, to care for their souls. It would be so much easier on my energy, my time, my heart, to check out sooner rather than later.
I would like to spend all of my time fundraising, meeting with potential supporters, shopping for gear, blogging, becoming best friends with my squadmates, dreaming, I mean preparing for The World Race…
But the reality is that God has kept me on a college campus, my college campus, for another three months for a reason. I cannot ignore His voice now. God’s work here is equally as important as the work I hope to be a part of in a few months, I genuinely believe that.
And since when was the Christian life about what is easy?
My next post will be about what has been hard.
