College Number Two

Auburn University it is!
      That's right. I was accepted into Auburn and am headed there this summer. And there's a neat story behind it too:
      As most youth groups do, ours hosted a Disciple Now several weeks ago. It was based off of Ephesians 2:10:

 "For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus

for good works, which God prepared beforehand

so that we would walk in them." (NASB)

   Going into the weekend, I asked God to speak to me specifically about a few things:

           1)What College

           2)What Career

           3)What to do with all this??

 And He spoke to each thing, just as I asked. Isn't God good?

         Here are the answers:

             1)Auburn University

             2)Nurse

             3)Missions

      The last one has a lot of other specifics that go along with it. However, I know God will reveal those specifics to me in time.

     I do want to go to Africa. Where in Africa? I don't know. However, I know God will pick me up and put me there one way or another some day.

   The reason for nursing is so that I can work on the medical mission field, using the gifts God has given me to shine His light where darkness lurks the most. Wherever that is, He has given me a heart to go.

  I also want to use the gifts He has given me in the music realm to share the Gospel, through piano and singing.

   I am so incredibly excited about where God is leading me. Though some decisions have been hard, are still hard, and there will be others even harder, I pray God will give me an obedient spirit and a passion to see His glory known. That's why I'm here, right?

     God is so big, and I am so small. On my own, I can in no way accomplish this. But I am so grateful that the God of the Universe lives in me and is preparing me in advance to do the things which He has called me to do.

   I have a desire to do big, God-sized things, especially on my Auburn campus. It's a pretty big mission field, if you ask me. But I know it is a mere stepping stone leading to even greater challenges God has ahead.

   So college number two it is! Auburn University is where I'll be. For the glory of God, and for the promotion of the Gospel.
