Life Thoughts

I have three more semesters of my undergraduate degree. It's exciting to see and to know that I have a few semesters left. But I am left with a question what's next? I am not dating so neither marriage or an engagement aren't near in my future. I'm not throwing the idea out the window  or even throwing the baby out with the bathwater. It's not my main objective. My focus is on the Lord and finishing school well. I believe God has a plan from the last three semesters to graduation to after graduation.

We can make plans in our own strength, power, and might. However when I don't trust the Lord or I try to do things in my own strength I fail. I fall on my face to realize the the Lord's plan is better for me than my own plan. The summer before my senior year of high school I went to The Gauntlet through Newspring Church. To those who don't know what Newspring Church is, it is a mega church in the state of South Carolina. I learned a very important concept at the Gauntlet from the former senior pastor, Perry Noble. I'm going to paraphrase  something he said it may be the direct quote "My life, my plans in my hands or my life, my plans in God's hands." In that moment I was left with a decision to make. Can I trust God to lead me in the best plan he has for my life or not or should I keep pursuing what I want for myself?

I know the world says pursue what you desire, whether that be money, power, or knowledge. I desire Jesus. I desire his plans for me as should we all.
