This is a question that has been on my mind since I have been home. “Lord where are you taking me? What do you want me to do? I am ready, just send me.” I thought the Lord might be leading me to Mexico to help Adventures in Missions at one of their bases to raise up missionaries, but that door soon closed shut. I have had some options on the table: Engineering/business jobs in Michigan (which is crazy considering Michigan has the worst economy in the U.S.), going to Spain to a leadership school, maybe working with AIM some how, and any other direction I might want to pursue.
Originally I felt pretty good about my position. I really felt like I had the world at my fingertips. I could launch in any direction. It was only a matter of figuring out what I was passionate about and where the Lord was leading. To be honest all the options that I had on the table seemed like great options and made sense with my interests but as I prayed about them they didn’t resonant in my Spirit. I felt like the Lord was just telling me to wait.
Wait?! Really? I hate not having a plan. I want to have a goal. I want to accomplish something that I am working towards. But for the last 3 weeks I was getting no direction- besides just waiting that is. God took me into a season of being OK with having no particular calling. He gave me a deeper understanding that he loves me for just who I am and not what I do. I also learned that my main passion for pursuing something comes from hearing God speak to me and following where he is leading -not from the actual thing itself.
So I waited. And last week God began to speak and make it very clear what I was to do next.
You will have to wait for my next blog coming tomorrow to find out what is next.
