paths.

"I think God is teaching you how to be still" is the quote from my mentor this week. ummm Jesus why do you always have to be correct.


So this week, I have realized some amazing things.  At first with this internship, I was wondering what on earth I was doing here, but this week I remembered that the main reason for this internship was to see what I wanted to do with my life.  With talking to numerous people about life and what I should do, my brain kept coming back to social work.  People were like so how does Wycliffe fit in with CRJ...umm it doesn't is usually what I would answer.    Then I would talk about how I would probably end up doing social work or working with people. 
So this week I went to a home group/bible study, but before it the lady picking me up, was actually a social worker and knew I was thinking about doing social work with my life.  So, being a good social worker she gave me encouragement to be one and tried to recruit me to her field.  Then we talked about our strengths in our leadership class and when thinking about my new ones and how I use them; all my responses were all like I wan't to help mend broken people or help build up people and such.  These were all little nudges from Jesus.


During all this happening in my life, I still had forgot that my plan for this internship was to figure out what I wanted to do with my life.  Then out of the blue, I remembered and was like oh yeah, Jesus thanks for reminding me.  So, even though I won't be working with Wycliffe for my life, I know I will be working in the social work field.  Which is really broad and I'm not for sure where in this field I'll be working, but I know Jesus has a plan.  I'm excited about this plan though, I love helping people and that is what is in store for my future.  I guess people helping was something I was always going to do, but never accepted the thought.  I didn't think I would be cut out for it, but Jesus has equipped me with the tools and now I know a small detail of my future plans.
