Graduation Looming

Now, it's my turn.

Plans are altered, dreams are shifted, relationships are developed, experience is gained, and graduation is now looming.

The once casual "What are you doing after college" questions are turning into the more serious "What are you doing after college" questions. On paper the questions seem the same; however, the timing makes all the difference.

"Do not boast about tomorrow, for you do not know what a day may bring forth" (Proverbs 27)

From union organizing to private wealth management, my plans have swayed constantly throughout college. Exposure to a multitude of fields has left me dazed...What should I pursue? What is God's plan for me?

Ultimately, I am to pursue after God and in this, glorify him. Be a man after God's own heart, just like King David.

So what are my plans? I trust and have faith that God's plans will be sovereign over mine, so let my plan be at his mercy. Praying for discernment and guidance, I am at the mercy of a sovereign God, thank goodness.

Long-term is school planting, in countries and regions where literacy and opportunities are hard to come by, in order to spread the gospel message through students and then to families.

I am aware of living in a dynamic world where circumstances and situations shift in response to an almighty God. Open to new opportunities, paths, and experiences, I am excited for what is to come. At the same time, a bit apprehensive for the unknown. Regardless, I am but a weak servant in the hands of a mighty master.

"Know this my beloved brothers: let every person be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger; for the anger of man does not produce the righteousness of God." (James 1)

"What do you have that you did not receive? If then you received it, why do you boast as if you did not receive it? (1 Corinthians 4)
