James of all books hit me this week. You don't really think of those books much that are just before Revelations, but there I was reading it, and deepening my love of God's word. Read it for yourself, but James 4 has a section in it about our future. It warns us not to say what we are going to do tomorrow, when we have no idea whats going to happen. I like what it says next, instead we should say, God willing we should do this or that. That means a lot to me. Not only now, but with my past. I have moved from college to college, major to major, just trying to find a way that seems right. All along I was making my own plans, of graduating college, and starting a career. Most of these careers, I have planned them on how I could best serve God. But they were always my plans. I can make plans right now, and am, but they are my plans. James is right, I need to say, "if it is the Lord's will we live, and do this or that".
I just postponed my internship till next spring. So that gives me this entire summer that I don't have plans for. I've talked with some different missions groups, but none of them seem to be working right. I probably should make some money to pay for school, and my internship next summer, but I feel like I haven't ever spent a summer just serving God. I am hoping to at least work in a summer camp, if I'm not given the opportunity to serve over seas as a missionary. These are merely my plans yet again, So I do add to them, if it is the Lord's will.
Then there is my future. I have been talking with some friends about my future. I don't know where I'll be or what I'm gonna be doing, but I hope that God will guide me, and daily I will be able to say in my prayer, Lord if it's your will let me do this or that.
