Doubts and Questions
Unbelief. Doubt. Questions. Three words that have constantly surrounded me for most of my life. Sometimes I don't believe as I should, I doubt myself, have felt people doubt me and I have doubted God. I have questioned whether I am doing what I am supposed to be doing. I have even questioned God. I have learned that as humans we don't believe, we doubt, and we question. I have not believed, I have doubted and I've questioned what I am supposed to do with my life. The previous week answered my question. Even though I know I will be doubted by many or even questioned.
This past summer I was very much questioned about where and what I was doing and the direction I was going in. For those who know me well, know that I have a heart for children with disabilities. They bring me so much joy even in the trying times. This past week reminded me that even in midst of doubt God can remind you what you are called to do. I'm praying and trusting in the Lord that his direction is the greatest for me whether I become a special education teacher, a preschool teacher or not even a teacher at all. I will pursue his plan for my life as he has laid it before me.
A career does not always equal calling. Paul's calling was to preach the gospel but he was a tent maker. I know the Lord has given me a heart for teaching whether that be teaching small humans or in ministry. I trust his plan. I will advise this: Listen to your family even when you don't agree with them. I know that's difficult because I've been there. Always take it with a grain of salt because you never know what small piece of wisdom you might gain.
Walk in the way that Jesus has called you. Pursue him. Trust him. I look at this way. I like Sphynx cats and a lot of my friends think their ugly but I still think that they are cute and adorable. I still like them. If Jesus asks you to do something do it. It may sound and seem crazy to others but he knows what is best. It's like this I'm not going to stop liking Sphynx cats because of my friends don't like them and it's same for following Jesus, if he calls you to do something and people around you question. Is it going to be Jesus or people?
