Trusting God

So often lately I seem to speaking with friends about the future. Going into my Senior year this fall I have absolutely no idea what my future will look like. I have so many options, which is such a beautiful thing and I am so very excited to see what God has in store, but it's also one of the most challenging times of my life. I've decided I'm not going to date this year unless I strongly feel like God wants me to and even then I really want to work as a servant of God only through friendship. My options for my future: NET ministries, college. Now, that looks like a short list, but believe me, it's a lot longer than it seems, remember that looks can be deceiving. My college options seem to be endless in my mind because I keep thinking of places to look at in order to keep all of my options open, though I have three I really want to apply to. Franciscan University of Steubenville, Capital University and Ohio State University.  I want to go for nursing because it gives me the most options for my future and I feel like God is calling me to that career path. However, I have no idea where else He is calling me except to be a student and His daughter. Therefore, I am going to take this life one day at a time and trust in God, knowing that He will provide because He always provides for His children. A friend told me to think of it this way: Don't be so concerned with the future because no matter what God is control and He will not allow anything terrible to happen because though times may become tough and rough-going God is always with us and it is a part of His will, so we just have to trust Him and be joyful with any circumstance because God is in control and each event is a part of His will, down to the finest detail. Therefore, I am resolving to live as a joyful person and trust in God because that is all we can do.

God is the only true constant in our lives. As humans, we are all imperfect and we will all fall short of expectations and fail any given person at any given time because that is the nature of imperfection. Therefore, PRAYER is EXTREMELY CRUCIAL in our lives because no matter what, God will always be there for us. He always wants to comfort. This morning in my morning prayer time I was crying due to some things going on in my life and Jesus spoke to my heart telling me it'll all be okay, just trust me and continue to pray, he will take care of me for I am his child.

"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." Jeremiah 29:11



God Bless.
