This is the question I have been asked a lot lately, and that I also have been asking myself and God…
What is next?
I have an answer. But it just isn’t necessarily what I want to hear. I was getting discouraged, because it seemed like everyone else seemed to have things figured out after the race.
But I didn’t. And I still don’t. I would love to do something awesome for Jesus after this crazy and awesome year is over, but I don’t know what that is yet.
What I do know is that like Paul said in Acts, “my only aim is to finish the race, and complete the task The Lord Jesus has given me.”
That is my only goal right now. To finish this thing God called me to, and to see it through to completion, trusting that God will determine my next steps once the first thing He has called me to accomplish is completed.
Does it scare me, the unknown? Not knowing what’s next? Maybe a little. I’m more frustrated, because I probably had an expectation that I would find out my next steps while on this journey. But instead, I have discovered more of what God is calling me into, just not necessarily where that will be or who that will be with. So to answer the question, it excites me more. It excites me, because I know God has great plans for me! He has great plans for all of us, if we are willing and obedient.
And I know that is exactly where my heart is. I’m willing to go and say, “Yes!” to Jesus. I am determined to first pursue God. I am determined to seek His will for my life in exchange for my plans. I am determined to see God’s kingdom here on His earth. I am determined to fight for Jesus knowing He has already won! I am determined to bring His freedom to His children, so that they may walk in the light. And I am determined to speak Gods truth to anyone who will listen!
So for now, my calling is to finish this race…and then home, because that is where my plane ticket is taking me to. Home to Texas. Home where I will praise Jesus and serve Him wherever I am at, and I will wait on The Lord and seek and pursue Him until He calls me to the next thing.
Because there will be a next thing!
Until the next adventure,
Teej
