Growing up I was taught that college right after high school is the key to success, my senior year of high school came with a lot of spiritual challenges that questioned this theory. I concluded that it is simply not true.
I agree with higher education and I know I will continue my schooling, but I feel a lot more is at stake than just the possibility of missing my name on a degree.
I felt like I was on the right academic path, but I was losing sight of the ultimate plan- what Christ wants for my life. I know my passions and I know how to get there, but I forgot the main step, seeking after God’s desires for my life.
It is a fight for Christ, and I am making the decision to choose Him.
For the past year, God has been taking me deeper into the story of Joseph, I will make a post about it later but for now I will highlight one main point. God continually stripped away the earthly titles- son, brother, high command, honorary servant. He took away his physical possessions and entitlements. He did all of this to challenge Joseph’s heart. Each time Joseph felt empty he relentlessly rose to be a voice for Christ amidst his turmoil.
I do not think God is taking away my life- yet he is challenging my innate ideas that make up my soul. God is asking how much do I love Him, how far am I willing to go, and how much am I willing to lay down to become His?
While on The World Race I want to get a clear picture of who Christ designed me to be, and I believe that holds the keys to my future. I think this program is so unique because we will not only be serving and giving to others, but our leadership skills and spiritual life will be challenged.
I want to get away from the worldly voices telling me who I am supposed to me, and chase after the definition of my life from the one who created me.
