I'm a senior which means one thing: I'm scrambling. No, not for girls as classic Taylor culture would have it- for a career. What do I do with my life when I leave the comforts of Wengatz and the financial umbrella of Mom and Dad?
This may be why I could not stop thinking about a job when I could not focus in my youth ministry classes because God kept bringing up ideas about An Tobar Nua in Galway. Each time a prof introduced an idea, my mind would apply it to the kids and the cafe and I would feverishly write down ideas. It wouldn't stop and it almost got annoying as it went on for a little more than two weeks. I knew it wasn't coincidence that Susan and Maren were coming soon for World Opportunities Week and I felt I had to share this with them.
But I was concerned that my zeal for all of this was self-centered and really the ultimate aim was to get me a job and be provided for next year (which is all good and well, but should not be the central focus in ministry ideas). Therefore, I told God that I would go ahead and present the ideas to Susan and if she mentioned anythine about me coming over to work with them, I would know that it was His will for me to go. Basically, if she brought up the chance for me to start a job that doesn't exist yet, I'd take it. Not gonna happen right?
Apparently this sort of thing has been weighing on their minds too and things have been happening at the cafe and the ministry showing that the time is ripe for something to happen. She asked if I wanted to come help implement these new ideas. Of course, I was thinking, "Wait, God. You came through. Is this the call that I asked to hear?" So I said, "I'll pray about it" which I have been a lot lately. Of course, now it seems terrifying to go to a different country right off of graduation and do who knows what. I know Satan is attacking me because for some foolish reason I'm really doubting this call. But I want to stay firm in the fact tha I asked God for a clear sign of what to do and He gave it to me.
Outside of following whatever He wants, I don't know the details of what will happen from here.
