God's Will

This semester here at River Falls has been incredible.  It has also been
so difficult. And beautiful. And busy. Full of searching. Waiting.
Impatience. Thankfulness. Reminiscing. Wishing. Trusting.

God has been moving here. He has been moving in me. Breaking me down and
building me up.  I am a mess, wrecked. So much of my time is spent
worrying...wondering...what is this life of mine really about? Who am I
living for? What is God's will for my life?  I am graduating in one week. One week.

I search and cry out to God, "What is Your will for my life??!!"

Gods will for my life is for me to serve Him, to bring glory to Him in all
that I do.  He wills me to die to myself, to find my complete identity in Him and Him
alone.  Gods will for me is to fit somewhere into His vision for His
kingdom. He knows exactly where that place is. He wants for me to drop
everything and follow Him. Can I do that? Will I do that, no matter where I am sent?

I will follow the Lord. Into the world. Into the homes of the broken,
into places where people don't know the joy of experiencing His love.
 I will follow into dirty, filthy places where no one else wants to go.  I want to show
His love to the broken, to the hopeless, to the empty, to those who don't
even know or understand how much they need Him and His redeeming love.
Here I am!! Send Me!! Use me!!

Why am I here? Why do I have the great privilege of living in the United
States, where I have greater freedom, comfort, wealth.....  Why have I been so abundantly blessed?

God has blessed me so that I can be a blessing to others.  God
has given me things. Not so that I can delight in my possessions here on
earth, but so that I can go out an bless others with the things God has
given me.
