This week

So, this week I have been spending time in God's word and praying A LOT! I've asked a couple of other people to pray with me, because I feel like I have way too many decisions to make and I'm afraid of making the wrong decision. The more I pray about it I feel as though not one decision is the wrong one, it's just trying to decide what would God prefer over another. As I pray and seek Gods word I keep coming across something very interesting. I know that God has a sense of humor, but seriously - haha can't he be a little bit more specific? The church plant that I'm attending has been going through the book of Ephesians. I have continued reading and right now I am stuck on Ephesians chapter 4:1-5

"As a prisoner for the Lord, then, I urge you to live a life worthy of the calling you have received. 2 Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love. 3 Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace. 4 There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called to one hope when you were called; 5 one Lord, one faith, one baptism; 6 one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all."

As I read this over and over trying to understand and hear the voice of God I just keep thinking "I have a calling and God urges me to life out that calling, but right now he's not giving me a specific place, time, what to do". It's really driving me crazy! When I was 19yrs old I make a commitment before hundreds of young people that I would from that day on commit my life to full-time ministry. Of course the full-time ministry part didn't come until 5years later.

Anyways, my point is I know that I have a calling and I know that at one time I had a calling to Afghanistan and it came with some clarity. I knew that I had to fulfill that 2 year commitment and after that I had no idea what God might have in-store. I know that great things are to come and I need to continue searching and seeking after his will for my life.

Hopefully, by this time next week I will be writing another update of where I'm heading next.

Anyways, hope you are enjoying a walk in my shoes :)
