I'm on an incredible journey. A journey with an unknown destination. A year ago I would have told you that my destination was to graduate college and start a life. But, that life, it's already been started. One year ago to the date was my baptism. And since that faithful day that I proclaimed my faith to the world, my life has taken a dramatic turn.
I'm not fearful of what is to come or nervous about my future. I have faith in God that He's got plans for me. I have desires on my heart, and some of them are completely opposite of what I would have said a year ago. I have a longing for things that even a year ago were such far fetched concepts for me. I want to change the world, I want to change lives. I always knew that I wanted to change lives, but I didn't know how. Sure my career will do so, but I want a greater impact. With God, I know how to change lives. All which have stemmed from the changing of my own life. From laying my own life down and realizing that this magnificently wonderful journey I'm on, I am not in control of. I'm living out God's will, not mine and that is what makes this journey so spectacular. I have a lot heading my way, a lot to conquer. Many more semesters of school, and smiles to be had. If one year has made such an impact on my life and dramatically transformed it for the better, think about two years, five years, ten years. This journey that I'm on, it is a life long journey. I know that it's a life long journey of happiness, and struggle, confusion and understanding, but it's a life long journey of Love. When you stop living for yourself, and start living for Him, things change, for the better. I'm on a journey with God and because of God, I'm on a journey with a destination I'm not sure I'll ever reach. It's a continuous, and life long journey.
