Future Plans

I have always planned to be a inspirational speaker. But I never knew specifically what I want to encourage people towards, I know Jesus, but there is so many ways that it could go. So I have been praying lately that God show me what His plan for me after college. And a couple days ago a thought had popped in my head and it kept building and it hasn't left me. I have always had a passion of speaking, the youth, and bullying.

So I want to build groups all over the United States for those who are being bullied and have counselors be able to talk to the kids one on one and in groups. Also, to get families who have lost a child from suicide to be able to get involved, whether they need help or donate or to be able to volunteer. And to have those who have done hate crimes and bullied kids to have to come into the groups and have to participated in the activities, so they can see the effects of their actions and also to be able speak with a family who has lost someone to bullying and let them tell their story and show how it ripples in effects. I also want to have something where it's not pressured but they can have the option of learning about Jesus. Also, to have a place where they can learn how special they each are and let them learn their own special talents and gifts to help build self esteem. The speaking part will be where I can go into the public schools and talk to them  and encourage them and also to them about this group that is willing to help them.

I think this is desperately needed, they are so many people who think, "Oh, it just a normal part of growing up." But it's getting worse and worse everyday! There are so many kids out there today who feel hopeless and alone. Do you know every half hour some teenager commits suicide. I know I can't stop bullying, but I can help those who are being bullied! I know I will have to start small and it will take a lot of work, but it's work I am willing to do to further God's Kingdom. So please pray for me as I take on this adventure.

Unpredictable

Tonight my mind is busy with worry! I am worried of how to pay for school like I always do about this time! I was praying and asking God to open a door like He usually does for me and then a verse popped in my head. Hebrews 13:8, Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever. But then I thought even though that is true, it never says that He is predictable. I am not sure what He has planned for me. But I have learned that where ever I am He's there, even in my dark days of life. And even though I might not going back to bible college and after the heartache of it, in the end I will survive! 


It makes more sense of how our lives are unpredictable because our Creator is! He was so unpredictable that didn't even tell us when He was coming back, He just told us to be prepared! :) I guess to understand this is to show us how truly small we are and we can't know it all! Knowing us humans, if we did know, we would probably find a way to screw something up! All I know is that He loves me, He always there whenever I need Him, and He has a plan for my life! Jeremiah 29:11, "For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."
