So I have been thinking a lot about what the future holds for me. While it's still unknown completely I know that God carries me wherever I go and that in itself is enough for me. I have been questioning what my life will look like after high school and bouncing back from idea to idea for what I want to do. Trust me. I'm already enough of an indecisive girl. Throw in future plans and I get even MORE confused about life.
But I truly think I have made a decision. A decision that will be beneficial to my future. My life. I have been praying that a clear answer would be present in my life and if I'm correct I think that it has come.
I have a desire to do ministry. Be with people. Show them God's love even when they feel like love does not exist. I for one have witnessed his grace, mercy, and unconditional love in the past year. When everything else has fallen apart, He is all I have; all I need. Regardless of where you stand in life He DOES have a plan and will guide you. I have learned so much through this. Anyways, there is this organization called Youth With a Mission(YWAM). It's connected with University of the Nations. Basically there are different bases worldwide and they will train you in ministry and I'll get college credits in Christian Ministry, humanities, and others. I am leaning towards the LA YWAM base. It's called Discipleship training school. I will be in LA for 12 weeks taking classes, learning, preparing to extend my ministry in a foreign country such as North Africa, Thailand, China, Mexico, Costa Rica, or many more locations. So I will be in a far away country for 8 weeks following the 12 weeks in LA. Is that not exciting?! I am super pumped because in LA I will be focusing a lot in the Urban Ministry setting which is my desire! I will have a little house with roommates, meet new people...etc. I'm going to experience SO many different things and I can NOT wait.
I'm pretty sure LA is where I want to be. It's so hard because in almost every state there is a DTS school.
Following the 20 weeks I'm not sure what I'll be doing. I can either stay with YWAM and continue doing more schooling for them or maybe work for them full time. OR I can transfer to a Christian school and my credits will trasfer there if I want to continue my education with something else. I have always dreamed though of starting my own ministry. I am so excited.
I will be continuing to prepare emotionally, physically, and spiritually for this adventure. Prayer is needed.
Thanks for reading. Feedback would be wonderful.
In His Love.
