The Lord never changes!

As a Christian, I feel as though I am forever waiting.  I am waiting on God to show me my future. The picture that God is painting for my life becomes clearer everyday.  I once heard it described as a polaroid picture that takes a long time to develop.  I don't know where I will be in 1 year, much less 5 or 10 years like some people.  I do know that it will involve missions and traveling as I feel confirmation from the Lord on that and in the picture that is somewhat developed, that is what I see.  Since I feel that way now, I thought it only natural to travel this summer with the 6 weeks that I have off.  However, every door that I'm praying to open has stayed closed.  It seems as though I am to stay in Atlanta or perhaps Dalton for 5-6 weeks as I wait to finish school.  Frustrated?  That doesn't begin to describe how I used to feel about this situation as I am the kind of person to take charge of things.  Its hard to let go of my desires and trust the desire that God has for me instead.  Its been easier to this week as I keep reminding myself that God's way is better and that he will 'smooth' out the path before me.  I stumbled across 1st Corinthians 12:4-5 which says "There are different kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit.  There are different kinds of service, but the same Lord."  

Why do I get the feeling that I am going to be doing something that I don't regard as 'high service'?  I don't have to be on a mission trip and plugged into a specific ministry to be serving my Lord.  But the thought of working at Walgreen's for 5 weeks makes me want to jump off my 3rd story balcony. 

New blog

This blog is so refreshing and shines a different light on the ups and downs of Christianity.  Actually, it gives a more raw honest look into the Christian bubble we tend to have and seems to bridge a gap between 'them' and us.   It makes fun of the silly things we do while sticking firm to biblical truths.
