Have you ever been in a place of not being fulfilled? Or wondering is this it?
Three months ago I was planning on moving away from home and finishing college in a town with a lot more people and with a lot more things to do than in good ole Sebring ,Fl… Then my plans got interrupted by a single phone call and I landed right back where I started, Sebring.. I felt like none of my plans were working out and that I would be stuck here , in Sebring, forever. Then it hit me.. Why did I want to move away? What was I running from? Or what was I running too? And why were none of my plans working?
The next couple of weeks I prayed and I told God that I knew that He had plans for me and His plan was the only plan that I wanted to follow. I asked Him to do something big in my life.
I have to back track a little here.. Two years ago my cheerleading coach (one of the most awesome people ever!!) told me about the World Race.. At the time I was only 18 and in bible school; and you have to be 21 or turn 21 while on the race to participate. However, over the past two years I have prayed about doing the race and I have asked God if it is His will for Him to show me.
So having said all of that.. One evening I got on the website and read a lot of the blogs and I talked to my parents about sending in an application. I told them that I was going to sleep on it and maybe apply the next day, but that I really felt that this is something I am supposed to do.. Well, I ended up applying online at like 2 A.M. because I just couldn't stand it.. As I was praying that night I just kept getting soooo excited.. I know without a doubt that this is something that God has called me to do.. And I can't wait to live it out!
In closing I would like to share this verse…
In his heart a man plans his course, but the LORD determines his steps.
Proverbs 16:9
And I am soo glad that He does, because His plans are way better than mine 🙂
