Trust in the LORD and do good.
Then you will live safely in the land and prosper.
Then you will live safely in the land and prosper.
Psalm 37:3
As I prepare to attend my first She Speaks conference, I wonder if I'm finally on my way to my destiny? My heart longs to share God's truth with other women. I hope and pray God will use my life experience to encourage others. You can overcome depression. You can break the chains. You can become more than you ever thought you would be... Just trust in Him. Let go of you. Take the plunge.
I'm 45 and still trying to figure it out. It's not always easy to wait. Or wonder.
My son is seventeen. One short year from now, he'll be packing bags and boxes, preparing for that big step into college. He shares my questions. What's the plan, Mom? Do you think I'd do well with this? What did you think I would become (when I was seven)? Does it help to hear that I'm still not sure what I want to be when I grow up? There's just so much to choose -- so many things to do.
My prayer today, Nathan, is that you will trust God in the journey. Whether you choose one career like Daddy or my more circuitous path, I pray you will simply TRUST. Take the next step confidently. Don't look too far down the road. And while you're trusting, do good. Make a difference. Encourage others. Share your love of God. Rejoice in the journey. Let God lead you wherever He wants you to go and know. This is God's plan for you. In His Name I pray. Amen

I too love this post, just what I needed to read today:)
Karen, wonderful advise to your son! It isn't in what we do for a living, it's truly finding God at work all around us and joining Him no matter where our career path takes us.
So glad to be a "follower!"
