Where is God Leading?

February 23, 2016

Robert Frost said "two roads diverge in a yellow wood" but what if there are like five roads? I have found that God does funny things sometimes. Where there are five or six different roads or doors to pick from and how do you know which one to pick?

For example, I have found that I want to go to pharmacy school but how do I know if it is right? I am following one road that I feel God is calling me to. From there, I just jump into faith of what God is doing in my life. I have learned that I won't fully understand everything that He does. Only that my life is in God's plan and timing. (His timing is perfect, you know?)

Can you believe that? The God who created the whole universe knows you and me. Who we are, what our life is going to be like and everything we do wrong. Guess what? God still loves us and knows us and is in control.

Another diverging road is where do I devote my time outside of class? With marching band, orchestra, trying to start a ministry, and working as a teaching assistant, I run around like a chicken with my head cut off trying to get everything done. How do I say no? How do I find where God is calling me? (I'm still figuring that one out)

I don't have answers. Only questions. I am just doing the best I can to do what I think is best for me and my life. (Lord only knows if it's right) Get it, Lord only knows? Okay, only I got it.

Today is a day of hows. How do you know where God is calling you when you don't hear his voice?

xoxo,
Em

Unexpected Realizations

September 8, 2016 Yesterday, I had a conversation that I wasn't expecting to have and it went better than expected. Sometimes, you expect the worst in people and then they surprise you. Then, I realized how much a horrible person I can be by judging someone based on my emotions. (Bad life choice!) Then, I once again have a realization that pushing people out because of others isn't right but how often do we find ourselves doing it? Or how often do we justify it because of our anger and emotions? Too often, we let our emotions make our decisions instead of trying to be reasonable or logical about the situation. It can be hard to "check" ourselves when we know that we will be wrong or our actions will be. However, it can be redeeming to realize that you're wrong and move past it. While it can be awkward to have those conversations, the freedom that comes from them is unexplainable sometimes. I was wrong. Very wrong. I judged and then I realized I didn't ...

Marking Time

August 24, 2016 Have you ever been in the middle of a tunnel in life and don't know how to find a way out? I've been experiencing a lot of that lately. Not in a depression sense of my life but more in the purpose of it. (If that makes any sense). I feel as though I am marking time through life not really connecting in what I am supposed to be doing. It's a weird feeling. When we, our marching band, went to church together on Sunday the pastor was talking about relationships and three levels of connections we can have. It got me thinking about my own friendships and relationships but also about the connections of my life. What if I haven't been connecting in the ways God is calling me because I am too focused on marking time through life? I realized how much more intentional I need to be with my life. I realized how much I don't want people in my life unless they are "real" friends. So I have decided to do a life cleanse. My life cleanse just mean...

Life Without a Script

May 13, 2016 Since I have been home for the past week it has been a roller coaster of emotions. Sometimes in these roller coasters it's hard to trust that God is in control. The past few weeks my church at school was talking about "life without a script" but what does that mean? For me, it's having faith that as my story is playing out; God is in control and is the one dictating my script. (Not going to lie, it's really hard) Between a crazy family situation that is totally out of control, it makes my heart hurt. With other stress from work things with my family I'm struggling to have faith. It makes me question why do good things happen to bad people? I have to remember that Satan is running our material world. Now more than ever I have to lean into God's plan because this world is only temporary. My mom is the one who has been reminding me about that. She tells me "have faith, remember?" While I am normally the strong in God; now my mom...
