If God Calls "You To Something, He'll Give You the Power to Do It...."
At least, that's what Robert said at the college service tonight... And it's true--and comforting.
I
just wish I knew the details about what God is calling me to. Judging
by the way the rest of my life goes, I'll spent hours contemplating the
future, only to have something huge happen at the last minute... Most
major things seem to happen on the deadline for me, with little or no
warning. God sure does like to suprise me.
And I like being
suprised. Even though I'm somewhat of a control-freak, I like looking
back over my life and seeing how everything worked out: adopting my dog
Penny, getting the scholarship, deciding on Baylor, taking a year off,
doing IHOP-ATL, going to Spain last summer... The list goes on and on.
The BICers just read Bobos in Paradise for
Social World II. It's a "philosophy book" commentating on modern
American culture. Not that I agree with everything, but it did make me
reconsider some things about my life. Much of the book discusses
typical academia-initiated cycle: college education, grad school,
internship, job, promotion, making $$$, spending $$$.... Education is
good, and money is good (one must eat). But is that really what I want
to do?
I know everything is in it's right place for now. But
I feel kind of lost, like I don't know where I'm headed. I'm wondering
if my life is about to shift again... Ok God. Now what?
Sometimes
I almost wish I didn't have so many options. There's a lot of
responsibility in my life now--the clubs, activities, and GPA I have
now will affect the future. So far, I feel extremely blessed. I don't
feel like I do anything to make the pieces of my life come together,
but they do.
I just don't know what the pieces of my life are
coming together to make. Whatever God and I make with my life, I don't
think it will look too traditional.
And while I'm here
thinking, life continues on: Summer school will be a new experience,
especially with many of my friends gone. And then I'll be in Europe for
the fall. |
