I've gotten many funny looks, many questioning glances when I tell people what I want to do with my life...where I want to go, how it works. For a time, I want to be a missionary in Africa, working with the youth. For how long? Well, I don't know, we'll just have to wait and see where God leads...maybe just for the next 14 months, maybe for 5 years, or 10...I don't know yet. What will I do after Africa? I don't know, I've got lots of dreams and ideas that God has planted in my head...I'm not sure what my future holds, but I know who holds it. What do I know? Well, I know that God has called me to follow Him, and that He promises to lead me in paths of righteousness and to equip me for every battle I face and to fight for me and protect me...so I don't have to know where I'm going or what I'm going to be doing necessarily, just that I will be in His arms, in His will.
God has called us each to a purpose above ourselves, outside of our own understanding, He doesn't say that it will be safe, or easy...He says He will be with us, and that it's in His strength that the purposes will be accomplished. So all I need to know is that He is trustworthy and good. Because I know that to be true, my heart says, "I will follow You..."
