Hi.

I haven't written in ages, not sure as to why that is. Regardless, the other day I had a revelation! I realize that as people and Christians we are constantly caught up in what's next in life and what our plan is, what life after college looks like for you, etc. Here is where the revelation takes place, as Christians shouldn't we be even MORE aware of the fact that we don't have to have a plan. Not having a plan is BEAUTIFUL in a very uncomfortable kind of way. It leaves an incredible amount of room for God to move.

I can be the first to say that my life has been nothing short of completely opposite of what I planned, hoped, and expected-but all that to say, God has definitely been orchestrating the events to a "T". It has been hard, stressful, uncomfortable, it has brought me to my knees in prayer due to being at a complete loss for what to do.

All that to say, stop asking each other "what's next?" or "what do you want to do after you graduate?". Granted those are fine questions, but instead I think it would be way more encouraging and less stressful to the individual being asked to approach the situation differently. Perhaps by asking, "so where do you think God will take you next?". Because isn't that the reality of the situation? It's not about what we want, it's about our will aligning with Christ's and us following through with that. It's the beauty of being fully submitted to the Lord.
