Ah, growing up is such a fun thing. As I sit here, balancing budgets, bills, dreaming my dreams that are ever so present in my heart, I have learned so much in the last year. 1 year since college graduation.
I have learned to trust God in every part. In my life. My family. My finances. I have surrendered it all to Him, it took me a hard trial, but here today I tell you, I can OVERCOME with God!
I am so happy, overjoyed with life right now. God has renewed my joy! It took patience, trials, waiting in His presence, trusting Him completely. I have never been able to trust any person with everything, and here I am completely surrendered to God. I am so happy!
Here I am running the race, hardcore. Letting go of all that holds me back from His call. Nothing matters besides loving others and sharing God's love. I can stand here and say my whole life is up in His hands.
I am on the quest, the quest of the call of God. It was a dream, God whispering into my ear in the beginning, learning about my dream in college, and now is time to take action, to be creative and dream big, and pursue your dream hardcore.
My dream you ask. To get married one day of course ;)
JK JK well that is one, but on a more real note it is to love God love people. You say people always say that. Mine is a different type. I want to work with the homeless in social services, to help them see the positive and the strengths through extremely difficult times.
I want to share God's love with them, through loving them exactly the way they are, and helping pull out strengths in times where these people literally have nothing. I want to give them a hope, in a world that says things are everything, stuff is changing, costs are going up, but I want to help the people that have nothing, not even a house. How can I go and buy my nice stuff and not even try and donate, help, or try to understand what homelessness is, because I'll tell you one thing, it's not being lazy. Some cases, there may be a lack of vision, but I'm telling you, it's circumstance, families, examples, and not having people to help them. Think about it how far would you have gotten without your families support? Your neighbors? Church family? Without anyone to depend on or cry on their shoulder every now and then? These people are in constant crisis mode and don't have anyone that's a little further than them to reach out and show them a different example.
So here I am, working at a Preschool Full Time, doing a Social Justice Class at my church, waiting for God to open the doors for me to help the homeless full time.
I'm finally at a peace and fully relying on God to open the right door at the right time.
I am about to finance a car, wanting to move out, head closer to Chicago, but what do I have to do, wait patiently for that door to open, and not worry but keep going. I have a boyfriend who is awesome! I have a family who is awesome! Friends who are awesome!
We need to be thankful for what we do have. He has a beautiful plan, but we will not know what exactly He has in mind, till' at some points that moment, or He prepares us, but one thing we know is God has the best intentions for us :)
God wants to give us the desires of our hearts, if we trust in Him, obey Him. He will grant us them.
Trust. Wait. Take Action. Love. Enjoy Where You Are At.
