Yay! I'm not going to lie, Germanna is not my favorite place in the world, but it is a step in my future. It is a place to learn, and a place to meet new people, and have new experiences. Those things make me very excited. I love GPS (Grace prep, where I spent middle school and high school). It is a great school. But after going there since 7th grade, I am sort of ready for a new place to study. Grace is small, and most of the people there I have known for years. I'm ready to start something new, sort of step out of my comfort zone a little. I need a little change. Although I will miss Grace, because it has been such a big part of my life, and I am so grateful that I got to attend school there.
If you had asked me 2 months ago what my postgrad plans where, I would have said that I was planning on going to germanna for a year, then transfuring to Southeastern U in Fl for the next three years of school.
If you asked me that same question today, you would get a different answer.
I would have to answer you by saying "I'm not entirely sure." Which is one of the scariest things. To not be sure of something. But thats life. We can't always know what God has in store for us. But what we can know for sure, is that there is SOMETHING He has planned. We are not here just to wander. He has a plan, and although we may not know what it is when we need to make a decision, or take a step towards the future, we can rest assured knowing that He is there, and He will be with us every step of the way. As long as we stay close to Him, through scripture, prayer, and worship, we will be able to make the decisions we need to make to live a life that is glorifying to Him. And of course we will mess up, and make mistakes. But He never leaves us.
So I'm not entirely sure what my plan is for my life right now, but I do know my goals, and I do know my next step.
Goals: Get a college degree, go to film school, get married and have kids (if thats God's plan), travel, be joyful and try new things, take chances, meet new people, help change peoples lives, and grow stronger with God.
Next Step: attend Germanna, which will help me reach a few of my goals. It's like setting the first few stepping stones to the path that leads to my goals. The path that is my life.
We can't just sit around waiting for God to tell us, or show us, what His plan is for us. Yes, He does guide, but sometimes we have to make our own decisions. Decisions based on what the Bible says, and based on our relationship with God. And yes, sometimes we do have to be patient, be still, and remember that God is God, and He is in control. But He doesn't want us to just stop, and not do anything with our life, and just wait for Him to put it all together. We have to live our life, and He will bring us the oppertunities. He will guide us along the way, as we move forward.
Even as we move forward into the unknown.
