Often times I struggle with the thought of "what I want to be when I grow up" and at almost twenty seven years of age surprisingly I do not have everything together. I am still a sinner, Sometimes my emotions get the best of me, I still over react at certain things, and some days I just want to be left alone. Every day I have to remind myself that I am nothing with out Christ and that it is by His grace alone that I am saved. He has created me, even with all my imperfections to do something great for Him. God knows the desires of my heart and sometimes I desire to do too much. However, I also know "that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose." (Romans 8:28) I know that I have been called according to His purpose, and just like Jeremiah God knew me before I was even thought of, he sanctified me and has ordained me and touched my mouth to declare His words to the nations. I have only begun to tap into the infinite dreams and desires God has for me. I just want to be available to Him! I do not want to be remembered in my generation for doing nothing. Rather, I want to remembered as an ordinary person striving to do extraordinary things for Jesus in every nation in my generation. "Then I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, “Whom shall I send, and who will go for Us?” Then I said, “Here am I. Send me!” Isaiah 6:8
