Where am I going???
Ok so it's 9:11. I'm waiting here at work with the phone put on night so I can get my phone call from an Americorps representative to interview me. I'm a bit nervous. I'm having second thoughts about it all. About whether this is really what I want to do. Is this the program I want to get into or should I look into ministry options. I mean I feel that I can show people Christ where ever I go and going with a non-Christian organization can probably be very impacting. It's a whole year! Kinda scary. Although I just read over my statement that I posted in my application, which I also posted in a previous blog. It helped me to remember why I was feeling lead to go there. It is a great experience that will help me figure out where I want to help out in the world. I LOVE to travel so that's exciting also, but I feel that I'm always making friends then having to leave. The bible study I've been going to the last few weeks is just so uplifting and I am starting to feel connected here again. Also, going back to Grace I am seeing people that I know again and I really hope to build relationships with them all.
A few of the leaders that I worked with last year at my internship are great, but i didn't get a chance to hang out with them besides at youth events because of my crazy schedule.
Yeah so back to this Americorps thing. I guess I'm just going to do the interview and find out more about it and def. then pray about it.
Other options:
I was talking to the guy who leads the bible study that I have been going to and he is in charge of starting a Young Adults worship night called Genisis and we talked alittle bit about me possibly helping to lead that. I've always been excited about College age ministry.
Which brings me to my other possible option. When I was at Colby-Sawyer some friends and I and some awesome staff started a Christian Fellowship group. They elected me to lead the first bible study and the excitement that went through me while I was preparing my talk was great. That is what started my thinking about transferring to another school to study ministry. Well this weekend I'm going up to visit one of my close friends, who was one of the staff that helped the most on putting this Christian Fellowship together and is still leading it today. I hope to talk to her about possibilities of coming and helping with it again. When I transferred she said to me, "Ok go get smarter and learn how to lead and then when you graduate you can come back and be my assistant." :) This has been on my heart as a possibility since I went to Eastern.
I'm excited to see where God is going to lead me but nervous that I will not hear the right calling and miss my chance on something. Although I know I have my whole life and as long as I'm doing God's work I pray that he will bless it. Although there's a good question.
Do you think God has particular places for people to go or do you think he just give us a few options and let's us decide? If I pick the wrong one will I be working under my own strength, therefore not by God's guidence?
What do you all think. Please write back with what you think of those questions.
