I’m a dreamer. Ask my best friend, she will tell you that I am constantly texting her about the “BEST IDEA EVER” which basically equates to some idea that I’ve conjured up in my head (probably while in the midst of a shower, please tell me I’m not the only one who has brilliant ideas pop into their head while shampooing their hair!) that lacks huge significance. I’m constantly inspired to do something. I’m one of those people who is perfectly content to always be busy. I like new, different, busy, and change. I like dreaming.
Lately I’ve been thinking a lot about the future. So I finish high school, graduate, then what? Go to college? Honestly, that sounds so boring. Everyone goes to college. And for some reason, I don’t have this strong desire to go college, because that seems like such a mainstream thing to do. What if I went to Africa and worked in an orphanage? What if I started my own photography business and traveled to every continent just because? There’s nothing really holding me back. Sure, I have family, whom I love dearly. And close, forever friends. But I’m mostly responsible for myself.
//And the unmarried or betrothed woman is anxious about the things of the Lord, how to be holy in body and spirit.// 1 Corinthians 7:33
I’m not married and I don’t have the responsibilities that come with running a household. I’m 15, and right now, I can be fully consumed with the work of the Lord. I am to secure my undivided devotion towards Him. I have my whole life ahead of me. How will I use it for His glory? He has a plan for me, that only I personally can fulfill according to His purpose. That thought makes me so happy.
Today, I will keep dreaming. I will keep living to the fullest and pursuing the things of the Lord. And who knows where I’ll be in five years. I might be living in India sharing God’s truth with people who desperate need Him. But one thing I am absolutely sure of, I will never stop dreaming. God knows my heart, He knows my dreams, and He knows how I was uniquely created. He gave me these longings in the depths of my heart for a reason. It’s all in His hands.
