“What does God want me to do?” This is a question that is asked often, in daily living. For me I have been wondering the same thing. What does God want me to do once I get back from the race? I know I have five months left, but the question is always looming over my head. Do I go back working at the nursing home? Do I go back to college and get my degree? Do I live life as it was before the race? All these questions circle in my mind day to day. The biggest question is “What does God want me to do?
As we read the scriptures they are full of instructions for daily living. To repent, to follow Christ, to bear fruit, to be meek, to hunger for righteousness, to be merciful, to be pure in heart, to be peacemakers, to do good, not to call anyone a fool, not to commit adultery, not to look at a man/woman lustfully, not to divorce our spouses without a valid reason, not to swear, not to resist one who is evil, to go the second mile and not stop at the first, to love our enemies as ourselves, not to be religious for show, to forgive, not to lay up treasures on earth but in heaven, not to serve money, not to be anxious about physical needs, to seek God's kingdom and righteousness first, not to judge, to do to others as we want them to do to us, to do what God says and not just listen, to preach the gospel, and that’s just to mention just a few items from the first ten chapters of the book of Matthew.
In remembering all the above, and to follow the law of the Lord, I know God will lead me to my future So far I have learned that God has put Bolivia on my heart. Ever since I had left I wanted to go back, to the children of El Jordan and to the great people of that establishment. I had so much love for the children and their mothers. I feel God telling me that someday you will be going back for a year or two. After I felt that on my heart, I felt pushed towards finishing college in ultrasound teach, or radiology so that if I do go back to Bolivia or a different place God would want to send me I could work at a hospital and give better care to the patients of that country.
I know God has a plan for me. I might know it now, or I might still be waiting for that confirmation of God.
