Finding peace in indecision and uncertain futures

Wow! Long title! But it really gets to the point of this post!

So! Let me start with a question instead of ending with one on this post. What is something you are indecisive about in life right now? How do you find peace about it? Is your future unclear right now? How do you find peace with that?

Now here is my answer to all those questions! In my wealth of knowledge I have come up with a very believable conclusion!

Are you ready?

Drum roll!

Here is my answer: I don't know. Pray.

Really, I came up with that all on my own! Are you proud? Okay! Enough kidding! (This is why I should not blog sleep deprived) Serious! What are the things you are indecisive about right now?

Have you ever felt like there is this long trail through the woods, a trail that is your life, and you start to follow it but somehow can only see about 10 feet in front of you? You know that it is the right trail! But you just can't see as far ahead as you would like? Yep. I'm there.

I don't know what I am going to major in at college! That stresses me a little!

I am still not sure what college I am going to! That is a bit nerve wracking!

What am I going to do out of college? I don't even know where I will be in life then!

How will I pay for college?

Do I need to go to college?

Will I grow old and never marry?

Will I ever have children?

Will I adopt?

Will I ever get to open a summer camp like I want?

Will I be lucky enough to spend my life working with kids?

Will I ever go back to Ukraine?

Will I make it through this busy school year?

What is God's plan for my life in the long run?

How am I to minister to others not just now but in the future?

Will I leave a legacy for God?

All of these things may seem so far in the future or even just silly! But they are all so important to me! I still don't know where my life is leading! And for me that is hard! I like control! I like knowing what is going to happen when! It doesn't even have to be the way I want it to! It just needs to be in a way that I can put on my schedule! :) All this uncertainty fills me with fear! And in reality it shouldn't! Because I know my God has all of this in his hands! Even if I knew all of my life and had it planned out in front of me it would still be in God's control! That is very comforting to know. And something I really need to remember! No matter what he holds my life in his hand! So praying for peace about it and guidance on how to act and follow his plan is really where I need to focus.

Please tell me what are the things that are uncertain in your life or what you are indecisive about! I would love to pray for you!
