My Future

I counseled at the Fall Youth Retreat at Ross Point last weekend. It was a great retreat. I taught a Character Study on Ruth... Did a couple hours of praying... and was really spoken to by a song. I had heard this song before but this time it really struck me.

No Sacrifice by Jason Upton

To you I give my life, not just the parts I want to
To you I sacrifice these dreams that I hold on to
Your thoughts are higher than mine
Your words are deeper than mine
Your love is stronger than mine
This is no sacrifice
Here's my life

To you I give the gifts
Your love has given me
How can I hoard the treasures that you've designed for free?
BecauseYour thoughts are higher than mine
Your words are deeper than mine
Your love is stronger than mine
This is no sacrifice
Here's my life

To you I give my future
As long as it may last
To you I give my present
To you I give my past

BecauseYour thoughts are higher than mine
Your words are deeper than mine
Your love is stronger than mine
Your thoughts are higher than mine
Your words are deeper than mine
Your love is stronger than mine
This is no sacrifice
Here's my life

So I've always been worried about who I'm going to marry and when that is going to happen but what is the point of worring? There is none because God has a plan. To Him I give my future.

My dad keeps asking me when I'm going to get my teaching certificate in Washington. He's not supposed to ask me about it again until January because I am waiting to hear about a possible new job at Hutton. To be honeset I'm not sure I want to go back to teaching. I am thinking of going back to school to get my Masters in Counseling. I have found that I feel happy and alive when I'm talking one on one with the girls I work with. I like listening to them and making them feel heard. Maybe that's what I need to do with the rest of my life. I don't really know yet but it's what I'm looking into right now.

I'm trying to not worry about my future becasue God has opened and closed doors for me in the past and I know he would'nt put me somewhere or let me complete something that I'm not supposed to do. I just have to be sure to listen carefully and follow what he asks of me.
