what to do...

a photographer. a teacher. a pastor. a youth pastor. a journalist. a counselor. a missionary. a nurse. an interior designer. a chef. throughout my life so far each one of these professions have come to mind as i have thought about what i want to do with my life. at times i have felt very strongly about one idea but then as i have begun to learn more about myself and become exposed to different possibilities my ideas have changed numerous times. it is fun for me to think about what i could see myself doing. i have been so incredibly blessed to have felt  and been given so many different forms of affirmation from many different people in my life so far. i look forward to seeing where God leads me. i believe He will take me to numerous places. i look forward to meeting new people and forming relationships with those i meet. speaking of going somewhere new, i have begun thinking about where God is calling me to. last year if you would've asked me what i was thinking of doing after high school i would've definitely said, "well not college!" at that time i was leaning towards the idea of taking a year off and possibly doing service somewhere. but something has changed. i have felt more of a motivation to do well in my school work this year, and ive begun to feel as though i do have a purpose and a calling. sure, i dont know what that is exactly but i trust that God will provide. as of now Hesston College has been calling my name. a small mennonite college in Kansas, 2 year college, family-like atmosphere, and consists of a great Bible program. so as of now i am considering majoring in Bible and Ministry at Hesston. i believe it will give me a good base to whatever i choose to do next. i say all this with the realization that it all could change, and im completely fine with that. i also realize i am one of the few in my age group who actually feels like they know what they want to do. i feel so blessed. after Hesston, i am considering Eastern Mennonite University in Harrisonburg. whether i major in social work or psychology. who knows but God. well these are my thoughts for now. take care.
