Options...

Why did God allow free will and give us humans the right to choose? I must confess I do like the free will every now and then, but why can't I have no options with what I'm supposed to do with myself after I graduate? I have so many options I don't like it... why? ..because I will have to say no to people and yes only to one person. Here are my options I have so far:

Work at a church as a children's minister in Elgin or surrounding area

Work at McDonalds in Springfield Missouri (not likely)

Work at a ministry in Elgin or a surrounding area

Work at a mental health center or hospital in Elgin or surrounding area

Work at International Teams in either Kenya, Cambodia, or Ecuador

Work with Children Evangelism somewhere etiher in the US or around the World

Work with the International Mission Board somewhere in the world, perferaibly Africa

The list continues... there are so many options for me... but why can't I decide? Why can't I figure out what God wants me to be doing a year from now? Is He still preparing me for something big? Is He telling me and I just can't hear Him or that I do not want to hear Him? Am I trying to drown Him out so that I can not think about my future or is He telling me not to think about my future... am I just confused and I need to be silent? I think the last one is the answer! I have been running around with my head cut off lately and I haven't sat down and been with Him in awhile... I need to do that, I miss Him. That is really sad when you say you miss God, but it is true... I miss the time I use to share with Him. I have now filled it with people...I have a confession I say a three letter word TOO much-- YES. I need to learn how to say NO to socializtion (or some of it) and YES to time with Him and by myself. This year has been amazing so far, but I am falling back to what I did last year and that is being social tooo much!

Okay that was myself counseling myself... hahaha I need help! :) Life is good, just needing to stay on top of my hw and my relationship with Christ. Friends are amazing, boyfriend is always amazing... no complaints in either department!

Oh and the Cubs lost last night... which makes me happy. I am sorry but I do not want them to win anymore games, I honestly hate that team. I don't hate the people because they are children of God but I hate the team. I'd rather root for the Yankees than the Cubs... I am actually rooting for the Red Sox or the D'Backs... gotta support the Drew brothers!! :) :)

Well I gotta get back to homework... adios mi amors! Make good choices

Currently Listening
Still Feels Good
By Rascal Flatts
Take Me There
see related

So life is great right now!! I cannot complain at all. God has truly blessed me in so many ways! This past Friday was Homecoming weekend, it was soo much fun especially since we had an amazing group that went with us down there. Saturday was fun too! That afternoon we saw 3:10 to Yuma--it was amazing!! I love western movies-- yeah call me a hick! Yesterday was fun I got to go to Kev's church where he does practicum and i got to meet his kids and Ian (for the millionth time) and I got to see Julia!! :) :)

Question: Is there anyone else out there who loves rain but hate storms?? Last night it started storming and I was freaking out (as usual) I ended up having to take a sleeping pill because of it... because of how late i took it, I missed my morning class! :( I absolutely love rain, espeically walkin in it with flip flops on!! But I hate storms, especially thunder. Yeah you can make fun of me but I have always been afraid of storms... mainly because I would link storms to tornadoes (we have a lot of 'em in Missouri) and I have seen too many tornadoes to count... Even ones who were right by my street in my neighborhood, but it didn't touch down until 1 mile past our neighborhood.

Well I think I should do some reading before I hop in the shower... I hope you all have an amazing day! Make good choices!! :)


Tuesday, September 25, 2007

Good morning all ya'll... I am up this early because I had to go print my 12 page paper in the library... and I now have nothing to do until 8. So, I thought I'd update my life a little. Nothing much has happened since last time I updated... but let me ask you all a question...

Have you ever been so mad at someone that it hurt? In that you were frusterated by what they have done, shocked by what they have done that it hurts. Things that they said hurt because you thought no one would ever say that to you? The things that they said were things that you promised yourself would never happen... yeah that is about how I feel right now.

But God is truly amazing and good, because He has put amazing friends in my life to be around and to pray for me... not to mention the amazing boyfriend I have who listened to me vent Sunday and then let me hang out with his friends last night.

School is going well, I wish I could be one with it so that I can graduate and start working with a ministry. Yesterday's chapel made me want to dropout of college and start doing missions now. But I know I am not ready yet to do missions, in His time I will. I just need to focus on Him and do what He wants me to do now.

I hope you all have an amazing Tuesday, full of God's blessings! Remember to make good choices and just keep swimming!!!!

So I thought I'd actually update and not do that stupid thing that I did yesterday, sorry Preeti. Life is purdy good, I am beginning to lack motivation for going to class and doing homework, which is not good. I am loving being a senior and having a light load of classes, but I just want to get out of this school!

I had a giant break through in my life on Monday night/ Tuesday morning... life is much better, I just gotta figure out how to do what I need to do. I have amazing friends who are here encouraging me, giving me wisdom, and praying for me! I am certainly blessed in the friendship area. Not to mention my amazing boyfriend, who continues to encourage me and understand (well attempt) to understand me... :) I pray that I bless him and encourage him as much as he blesses me and encourages me!!

I am a small group leader with Brittney this year and I'm soo excited because I absolutely love our small group. We are doing a book study on a book called Intimacy with the Almighty by Charles Swindoll. The small group consists of Sophmores on up to Seniors... people who are single and people who are married with kids... people who commute, live in linder, ohio, and volkman. It is so diverse but I love it!! God has already encouraged and shown me some amazing things that is in my life... I am excited to see what all He has instore for me...and my small group!

"Yet when I am among mature Christians, I do speak with words of wisdom, but not the kind of wisdom that belongs to this world, and not the kind that appeals to the rulers of this world, who are being brought to nothing. No, the wisdom we speak of is the secret wisdom of God, which was hidden in former times, though he made it for our benefit before the world began. But the rulers of this world have not understood it; if they had, they would never have crucified our glorious Lord. That is what the Scriptures mean when they say, 'No eye has seen, no ear has hearxd, and no mind has imagined what God has prepared for those who love him.' But we know these things because God has revealed them to us by his Spirit, and hisSpirit searches out everything and shows us even God's deep secrets. No one can know what anyone else is really thinking except that person alone, and no one can know God's thoughts except God's own Spirit. And God has actually given us his Spirit so we can know the wonderful things God has freely given us. When we tell you this, we do no use words of human wisdom. We speak the words given to us by the Spirit, using the Spirit's words to explain spiritual truths. But people who aren't Christians can't understand these truths from God's Spirit. It all sounds foolish to them because only those who have the Spirit can understand what the Spirit means. We who have the Spirit understand these things, but others can't understand us at all. How could they? For, 'Who can know what the Lord is thinking? Who can give Him counsel?' But we can understand these things, for we have the mind of Christ."-- 1 Corinthians 2: 6-16

This is a passage we read in small groups last week... I really like that passage because it describes a small group or a close knit of Christians and what they should be a to T.

Well that is about all I have to say right now... God is good... Life is good...

P.S. Kev you are goot and grool!!
