Dancing With God...

I am in constant awe of God. How can I not be? How can you not be?

I'm almost 22 yrs old now. And I have been "lost" in what to do with my life. I say that sarcastically in that since I was 18 I knew what God wanted me to do. I was put here on this Earth to love everyone I meet and to serve God.

I also have this amazing ability to doubt God. Specifically I doubt what God can do through me.

I have had a passion for Music Ministry for a long time now, and though I always thought "hey, thatd be neat to study and do for the rest of my life"... I always doubted I could do it, and that God would even want me to.

I was going to school for Multimedia Design, it was enjoyable for the most part, but i felt uneasy. So, after a late night talk with a friend, two days before the new term was going to start, God tapped me on the shoulder and said, "so, are you done running?" and my answer was "yes".

That night I got online and dropped all my art/media classes and searched desperately to try and find the classes I needed to eventually transfer to NCU (eugene) for the Music Ministry program that I had been eyeing for the past 5 years.

I got into a few classes, but not as many as I was wanting to get the ball rolling. I was excited, but also really anxious cause I needed more credits to get my financial aid. And many of the classes I wanted were already full. So in a desperate attempt to get enough credits I signed up for a class at the Cottage Grove campus that I didnt need and was going to be pointless.

I went to that class the next week in kind of a bad mood. A 4 hour class that I didnt even need... the prof came in and handed out the outline, and I immediately thought I was in the wrong class cause the name of the class wasnt what I signed up for...

Turns out, I was actually registered for that class... and to show how amazing God is, He got me into a class I actually needed for the program without me even knowing.... The only explanation was God was once again telling me, "Just keep dancing with Me, I'll get you where you need to go."

I pray that each of you will go where God leads you... that You wont run from Him, that you wont think you arent smart enough, old enough, good enough to do what He is calling you to do.

Just dance with God...
