The Future

Okay so as anyone who has been at UrbanPromise or has hung out with me in the past 6 months knows, I've been struggling with the future BIG time.  There is so much that I want to do and well what seems like little guidance on what I should do.
Which is scary for a girl that feels like God has very clearly lead her to different places the past 5 year. USP, CCU, UP God showed up and clearly pushed me to go the places he sent me.
 But I'm doing better now
Thanks to a wonderful intern from my study abroad program I started reading this book called Just Do something. and well it made me look at the whole thing differently. I've started to look at how God has made me, what are the desires he has placed in my heart. In a nutshell what makes sense for me to do next, here is a list of things I have come up with:
  1. International, I LOVED studying in college and God has given me this huge heart for the world, I feel like I am not being faithful if I am not using it. The best way I can describe it is it's like having a gift and love of singing, and never worshiping God with song. 
  2. Relationships, Wherever I am I must be able to grow in relationship and have a true Christlike community.
  3. Location, Preferably Denver, near Birmingham, or international, but I'll go ANYWHERE for the right opportunity
  4. I want to join people together, I want to seek reconciliation 
  5. I want to learn, I want to live a lifestyle of learning, always finding out new things, always seeking to understand the world around me further
So there it is,  now here is finding out what this looks like ... let the adventure begin
