Encouragement

Everybody knows that life is hard. 
but as a teen, it's especially hard. 


This week, we went to a home school convention. 
there we visited a place called College Plus. 
there they asked me what degree I wanted. that's when it really struck me. 
I wasn't going to be a kid anymore. 
I was going to grow up one day. 


At that moment, I'll admit I flipped. I had a general idea of what i wanted to do, but nothing was really decided. and I still have yet to decide. but I think the man asked the wrong question. 
He asked me "what do you want to do with your life?" 
He should have said "What do you feel like God want's you to do with your life?" 
this is the question I have been asking myself since I was 11. 


Now, I know I'm really good with words. And I love to write! and if I get the 'Best Seller's' award then hallelujah, praise be to God! 
but that's very unlikely. 


So now, it's up to me to figure out what God's focus is for me. 
and I plan on figuring it out, and I already have a feel on where he's taking me. 
I love the Missionary Field. and one day I would love to go back out there. Now that I am growing up, I can't just rely on my mom to take me there. 
now it's up to me to get there. 
And I have a good feeling about this. 
My mother suggested to me, that I join up with the on-field media. now i'm not so into the whole video taking, or editing it, but I would love to be a photographer. and getting out there taking tons of pictures. Maybe for a magazine, writing an aritcal with them. 


I just thought I would share with you all what i was heading for. Your prayers would be greatly appreciated! 


God bless!
