indecision’s decision

From my decision came indecision and from my indecision came a decision. My life has been quite unsure lately.  But finally, the Lord has given me peace about where I am to go.  For a few weeks now, I have been sitting on the decision that I am going to stay in Bellingham for the time being.  After a job I had been praying about in Seattle fell through at the beginning of the month, my second thoughts about moving to Seattle became very real.

So I will be in Bellingham, continuing to work with my church’s youth group, and searching for a job in my field.  It may not be a ministry job, but maybe it’s time I work outside of a ministry for a while.  Although working at my current part time job after I graduate is not the triumphant picture I had in my head, I believe it will all work out for my good.  And even better, it is yet another opportunity to trust God’s hand in my life. Afterall He has a much better perspective than me!  So with that in mind, I am contiuning on.  Although, I am not one to not think about other options.

My Junior year of college I looked into The Master’s College for grad. school.  I became interested in their Biblical Counseling Program, but put it in the back of my mind because I still had a while until college graduation.  Recently I revisited the idea of graduate school, and found it agreeable.  So I’ll be taking a year off, and perhaps applying to Master’s this fall.  Although school is not my favorite thing, I love the idea of studying the Bible for a degree and learning how to use the Bible to help people with their struggles.  Which is seemingly perfect for the type of ministry I want to work in.  Although going to school another two years will be financially straining, the Lord will do great work in that area of my life (as He has done in the past).   So that is my subject to change idea of what’s to come.  All I know is that the Lord is in the Heavens and does what He pleases.  So whatever I do is dependent on what the Lord wants in my life and how He feel I can best serve Him.

How exciting is that!  I’m glad plans don’t always work out because I know for a fact that if I had not struggled through decisions and circumstances, I would not have the strong relationship I have with the Lord now. James 1:2-8
