Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him and He will direct your paths.
~ Proverbs 3: 5-6 (NIV)
When I started college at Troy University I had a set goal of what I wanted to do with my life. I was going to be a high school teacher, but God had a different path for my life. It was while in college, in 2006, when I discovered I had been given a gift, a rare talent, an ability I didn't know I had. The Lord has given me a talent for public speaking, and with His guidance He led me to the communication studies major.
Since becoming a communications major I have had to learn the true meaning of patience. I went from a major that had a set end with a set career to a major where my career was uncertain. I am the type of person who plans out my daily activities with great detail. I set short-term and long-term goals, live by a strict schedule, and enjoy being able to check items off my to-do list. With the accomplishment of one goal, graduating college, I am left with a blank page before me.
I knew the Lord led me to the communications field for a reason; however, I have not yet discovered what purpose the Lord has for my life. The Lord always answers prayers. He may say yes, no, or wait; but He always gives an answer. I've been asking since 2006 what plan the Lord has for my life, and He has been telling me to wait. He has not yet revealed His plan for my life, but I know I must stay in His will.
I have realized that it is good to plan ahead, but I must always be open to God-appointed changes and God-appointed direction in my life. I am learning the true meaning of patience, and I know that as long as I acknowledge the Lord in all my ways, He will direct my path.
If you are waiting for God to answer your prayers; remember to acknowledge Him in all your ways and He will direct your path. Just another thought to consider.
