1,500 miles of road was ahead of me. I had been been packing and preparing for weeks. Anxious and expectant for what was next. I was so excited for this year of transitioning to finally be over. 

For most of my senior year of high school I didn’t know where I wanted to go after I graduated, but I knew that Worship Ministry was a calling God had placed on my heart. I felt so confused and scared, not knowing what was next and I didn’t want to mess up my future.

But God saw me there and He already knew where I was headed.

I toured a school in Florida in November called Ocean’s Edge School of Worship and I want to say that I had a fully convinced mindset leaving Florida that that was the school for me but I didn’t. Everything there seemed really awesome but there wasn’t a magical “Say Yes to The Dress” moment I can tell you that. It took a lot of prayer and in the end a leap of faith to get me there.

So, here I am today writing this and I’m feeling a lot of same ways that I did before I knew I was coming here to Florida. Some of the same questions and doubts are creeping in and honestly I don’t know what’s next. I don’t know whether in the fall I’ll be seeing the leaves change or if I’ll be watching the palm trees sway. To me that is a little bit scary.

Maybe you feel this way right now too. Confused and unsure of what could be next. I know I do.

But I also know this. The God of the universe knows my yesterdays todays and tomorrows. He sees me, knows me, and loves me. The real me. His plan for me isn’t going to be easy. But I know that it will give me more purpose than anything else that will claim to fulfill me here on earth.

For you need to hold out; so that, by having done what God wills, 
you may receive what he has promised.  Hebrews 10:36

I challenge you this week to take some time to ask the Lord. What is my purpose where I am right now? Where can I be to bring you the most glory?
