Desire

I'm sure as a child you were faced with the dilemma as to what you wanted to be when you grew up. I'm also sure if there was more than one thing you wanted to be like a mommy, an astronaut, and a teacher that the adult figures in your life said you could do all of them; you don't have to pick just one thing and the sky is the limit etc. etc.

Well, the desires of my heart are many. I have always been passionate about many things, never just one thing. I did know one thing for certain, I want to serve God and be obedient to him and his will for me. However for some reason, somewhere along the line, I got the impression that having multiple passions and wanting to do more than one thing in life was not possible. The adults of my childhood were wrong. I began to shuffle through life trying to determine what that one thing in life was that I wanted to do/be. What am I meant to do; what is my calling?

*Insert Revelation Here*

-My "Ah-Ha!" Moment-

The adults were in fact correct! I can do/be more than one thing. Although it might not necessarily be practical to do/be all of them at once, I can do/be them within my life time (or at least work towards doing/being them, until the Lord calls me home that is).

I was chatting with a good friend/classmate of mine yesterday whom is in a very similar place in here lifetime as I: trying to sort out what she wants to do with her life. My friend sparked an idea of something I might like to do after graduation. After talking with her, I went for coffee with a dear professor of mine. My awesome professor helped that spark of mine evolve in to a flame. And now, I'm on fire with a passion for what I want to do after graduation.

Drum roll....... I want a position working with Black Mountain Expeditions in Ashville, North Carolina. It's a place of adventure travel and teen wilderness trips, so the job would be focused on my outdoor leadership minor more so than my exercise science major. But never the less, I think it's perfect for me. AND the best part: it's a Christian organization :) The camps and expeditions not only exercise you physically but spiritually as well. Another plus is that we also do international expeditions too! My wonderful professor has connections and hooked me up with one of the gentlemen from the organization.

I am so super duper uber excited about this. I had chills and goose bumps while I was viewing the website, reading about the camp(s), their core values and all that jazz. Just looking at the photos on the website made me wish I could be there now. Ah- it's so good!
