Life seems to keep going..even when you really don't know what's happening. You think after finishing High School than finishing a program that helps you understand/figure out what God has in store for you and what your purpose in life is....you would think you would know the answer right?
Well that's obviously asking way to much.
I have gone from having a big plan of doing an internship at a church, learning more about music, graduating, getting a job as a worship leader and living happily ever after.
Well lets just say it didn't take very long for my plan to be completely changed. I definitely had a moment of disappointment in God. Apparently my road map of life wasn't exactly what He had in mind!
Some thoughts like "God I had this figured out and you ruined it!" were running through my head. Also "Great now I'm going nowhere." was a common thought. OOOH my favorite was "All of your friends are doing something with your life...now you're just going to be that weird (sometimes creepy) guy who graduated and is still sticking around the school and church and always talks to high schoolers."
....Yea I've seen a few of those.
Than the thought occured to me..
Hmmm....so...I'm questioning the God of the universe, who has a perfect plan for me?....telling HIM what to do?...
I am freaking 19.....19! And I think I have the right to tell God where He is messing up and that now I have no future? Even if I took one year of not knowing what I am supposed to do....I'M 19! Life goes on!
It took me sitting down and really actually thinking on these words a friend said to me to really be ok with where I am at in my life.
"Just because this isn't 'your perfect path' doesn't mean it isn't God's perfect path."
Well at least it was something like that. I don't remember specifically what he said....but hey that's pretty dang close to what he said.
The reason I am starting this blog isn't because I think I am the wisest person I know. It isn't because I think everyone needs to be updated on me life or needs my incredible words from the Lord.
It is simply because I want to be able to give a glimpse of what trying to have a relationship with God really looks like. The day to day crap. The ups. The downs. Just what it really looks like in my life.
I don't want to make it seem like my life is perfect in every way because I follow God. And I sure don't want to make it seem like my life is hell because I follow God. Neither are true. I just want to show what happens when you really are trying this thing out and what comes out of it. Even when I mess up...because I am sure that will happen!
