Chasing the Will of God There is Nothing Better, Let Me Share Why!

The will of God runs so deep, if you haven't started chasing after it. Begin now.

My life without God would be nothing. It would be a pointless, empty, rotten, destructive, black hole. I mean it'd be a fun party, yeah, let's be real.

My life started off being knitted by God in my mom's womb. I don't know about you when I see that I think God knits? LOL

Well I guess He does, so to all the men out there to knit, it's cool. So think of this God is creating us into this masterpiece, a design that is unique. He knows who you are, who you will be, he releases that into this world He creates.

It's magnificent think of all the other things in this world God has created. Such as the stars. He has made every one of us like a star. Some shining brighter than others, some floating along, some being attached to other stars. Some shining in the darkness. It's cool to think we are all made to fulfill this purpose were after.

That brings me to the main point of this entry. The will of God.

We all have questions, such as are we going to change politics, are we going to awaken the church, are we going to change the world, can we end poverty, can we abolish today's slavery of human trafficking, am I going to get married, am I in the right school, do I have the right friends.

Well that's why we have God, to answer and be with us in these moments of questioning.

My story is quite simple. I always grew up wanting to be a veterinarian, as I had grown up watching ASPCA, animal cops, I loved it. But then in high school I stopped watching the show and learned human beings mattered just as much. So I decided as I was going to stay home and try to date a guy from my high school, God shook me up, broke those plans, applied to two schools in December of my senior year, and decided to help people and followed social work as my degree. I got accepted to North Central University and rejected from the other college. God was in my plan, so I went to North Central University, made the choice March of my senior year, totally turn around from staying home, going to community college, dating someone, talk about shifted focus. God woke me up in a hard way. I left to college and was like this a new experience and time to start fresh. I stuck with social work loved it because I felt God had called me to that my senior year of high school.

Coming from that I stuck with social work my 3 years so far and am graduating May 2012 with my Bachelor's in Social Work. I love helping people, became who I am in Christ a few years later. I got close friends and am alive, healthy. I have learned hard things in college too from dating to friendships to God's will and what my belief is in.

I can tell you even as this I am declaring my last summer in Illinois for now, it's weird to say but it's invigorating. When following God's will you are in tune with God and He knows your heart and desires :)

I am going to stay in Minneapolis after I graduate and live on my own, do things on my own, and live for God and let my life be pleasing to Him and have that be the focus.  All other things He's going to work out. We all have a choice to everything we do, will we tune in to the daily voice of God or will we choose something else? Our selfish, sinful, nature, or are we going to do something and declare God's glory?

I want to challenge you to let God speak in every area of your life but take action, inform yourself, along with others. Follow after the will of God and things will be rocked. He will develop things within you, that are unreal.

The will of God is the greatest, most daring, adventure you can go on. You give your life to Him. You follow His words, you love Him. You count Him as the most important to you. You give up your sins to Him, constantly, it never stops, we are human, we have a sinful nature. I've touched on this before CONSTANT SURRENDER. God I struggle with this, day after day. God will help you be strong and live through the struggles life throws at you.

It's like oh I did great on that history test of Chapter one. So I'm not going to go to classes, or anything else anymore, you might pass because of randomness but you will fail eventually. You aren't in touch with the new parts of the next chapter.

God has a will for you as much as He does for me. Chase it. IT is good. It is what is best. It will lead you to greater things than you've ever experience. He has a love that is way deeper than any human beings.

Let's be real being in the will of God let's you live freely and be generous, love, and be all who you were created to be, I mean who wants to be stuck in a sinful nature and frozen, fearful of everything, or risking everything. With God we have that peace to do the impossible.

All things are possible with God. Believe it. Live it. Own it. Preach it.
