Kairos

So today I was having a little chat with God while I was walking to class. And I was upset that I hadn't been told "yet" about what my plans were supposed to be once I graduate, since the time is scarily approaching. I wound up thinking about Reign Ministries which is an organization that I have done missions trips with during high school back in the summers of 05 and 06.

So I noticed on their website that they have Discipleship Training Program that is 10 months long and it totally sparked my interest. I have known of this school for awhile, like since 05 but never really given it much thought. But it peaked my interest, and so I have started praying about it.

The ten month program about digger deeper into the Bible, learning and growing in faith, pushing boundaries, stepping out of your comfort zone, all sounds like something that I really need to do in my life. I need to get into a good place. I feel like as if I have gotten in a rut. As I was listening to a sermon today on Galations 3, it really stuck out that righteousness and being a "good Christian" is not about what we do, at all. If it were, we would be doomed. It is all about Christ. Because of Him, we can go before the God in Heaven. So amazing. When you think about, I mean really think about it. How blessed are we. Christ went through excruciating pain and agony, and death, because He loves us that much. Wow. To be able to love like that. There is so much that I don't know about the Bible but I stand in awe of who God is, and what He has done for us.

I am seeking to get all the Christ-centered people in my life to pray about this with me so that I truly know what God wants for my life. I really want to follow God's plan for my life, but it is super hard for me to give up control, I am an extremely detail oriented person and do not really like to not have a plan. (Something I am trying to work on...)

Click on the title for a link to the website of the program in which I am referring to. I don't know if this is God's plan for my life, but I don't think that it is an accident that I stumbled upon that site, and wanted to know more. Do more. Be more. Maybe God does want me to go into full-time ministry. Maybe I am called to be in missions. That is definitely not what I thought my life would be. But maybe it is.. Hmmm. Lots to pray about.

Jobs! Jobs! Jobs!

I have applied for so many jobs I have lost count. The hardest part is not hearing back from the places that I apply. Or if I do hear back from them, they don't explain why you do not get the job. That is tough! If you don't know why they don't want you? How can you improve?

I recently put in an application for Wells Dairy in LeMars. My contact there told me that they have offered the position to someone, but have not heard back from the person so it is not closed yet. Here's hoping!

I am going to start looking for internships and maybe part time, temporary positions.

Well I have to head to work, at least I have this job for the time being. Really hoping and praying that I will find a career soon. I am thinking about posting a link with my resume so that it is more readily available.
