San Diego is fast approaching and all the details haven't been ironed out quite yet. So many arrows point directly to this being where I need to be, however some things just haven't come together. It is a constant stress, knowing that some of these decisions are not in my hands. And since patience has never been one of my strong attributes, waiting for email reply's has become a constant issue for my sanity.
I am a firm believer that God opens the doors but that we have to make the decision to get off the couch and knock. God opened way to many doors getting me to Auburn and into the Interior Design program for this to not be what I am supposed to do. I trust Him to lead me in the directions I need to take but am not content in sitting back and waiting for these opportunities to come to me. I am trying actively to pursue opportunities to make this summer a success.
With my Bali mission trip fast approaching (1 month, 4 days away!!) a verse that has stood out to me is Acts 20:24...“However, I consider my life worth nothing to me, if only I may finish the race and complete the task the Lord Jesus has given me--- the task of testifying to the gospel of God’s grace." It puts the stress of internship stuff and moving across the country into perspective! My prayers lately have been that God will start opening the hearts of the people I will encounter. I also have been praying for my heart to be opened to these people and that I will learn whatever he is sending me to Bali to learn.
"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord. "They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope!!" Jeremiah 29:11
