I Don't Know What God's Plan Is For Me

But, it's okay.

I Don't Know What God's Plan Is For Me
PIxabay

I've been a writing a lot of article about God recently, but it feels like the place I need to be in my life. I don't know what God's plan is for me. All I know is that he has brought me to this point in my life. He has brought me to this school. He has brought me to my major. He has brought me to be part of all of the things I am a member of on campus, including the Odyssey. So here I am talking about Him in an Odyssey article.

I don't know what God's plan is for me. I don't know how He is going to use my life to honor him. But, I was reading a devotional out of Matthew West's book Today is Day One, and there were a few lines that stuck out to me.

In the first paragraph, he says "God doesn't use everybody the same way." I really like this line. It served as a reminder to me that it doesn't matter how small of a role my purpose will seem to play. It will make an impact in ways that only God will ever know.

Later, he goes on to say " When you're truly surrendered, God pours into you the abilities you need to walk out His will for the rest of your life." This is something else I needed to be reminded of. I need to be reminded that I am capable of carrying out God's plan for my life. That He has given me the ability to do this. And finally that it will all be okay in the end. I will not fail God. I will be able to complete his plan for my life.

Finally, something I find very important is to know that you do have a purpose, but you might not know it. You might find it out one day or you might never fully understand it. Just trust that God has a plan for you and will work through you in mysterious ways. I don't know what God's plan is for me, but that is okay.

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.
