Follow Your Heart

"For I know the plans I have for you declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." -Jeremiah 29:11

Two common questions asked to college students:
1) What are you studying?
2) What do you want to do with that when you graduate?

Both of these questions can be very annoying and frustrating to college students for two reasons: 1) you are asked these questions a dozen times a month and you're tired of answering the same thing over and over again, and 2) you haven't selected a major and/or you don't know what you're going to do when you graduate. It's not like we have jobs picked out and waiting for us when we apply to college.
When anyone asks me these questions, I just want to throw my hands in the air yelling or sighing "I don't know,"- or at least that's how I felt over the past couple of months. Until just recently, I have had some clarity. No, I still have no idea what I am going to do or where I am going to be after college. However, I have found peace and sereneity in not knowing what lies ahead in my future. I have no idea what I want to do after college, but I know the Lord has a plans for me. Although, I don't know what the Lords plans are for me, I feel okay about not knowing. Now, I have this sense of being at ease, this confidence that I am going to be okay where ever I go; where ever the Lord leads me. As long as I am where the Lord wants me and I am doing my best at where I am, I am content and I am happy. I acutally find it rather exciting not knowing what's next in my journey. It's like the rest of my life is an adventure full of wonderful, unexpected surprises (and if you know me, then you know I really like surprises).

So don't think too much and don't worry too much- in fact don't worry at all, let God carry your worries and your burdens. Follow your heart, follow Christ, and serve the Lord.
