We just started a series at church about making the best decisions of your life. My favorite "take away" was: Run towards your destiny: You will never possess what you are unwilling to pursue.
School: That is so true. And it was so affirming in these uncertain times. I wonder, with the debt I already have, is it wise to return to school right now and incur more debt? I am sometimes racked with doubt about this course of action. But I know that I am supposed to be pursuing this and the longer I wait, the less likely I will be to fulfill this particular destiny.
Writing: As far as my writing goes, I keep getting more and more ideas. They excite me and they scare me at the same time. I already don't have time to do what I want with my writing, yet more ideas keep coming. I'm not even thinking about writing and the ideas are flowing. Does that mean I need to run toward my writing, right now, on top of everything else. My heart says yes, but my self says "I wish I could stay home and only write." I have a list of publishers and agents I need to pursue. We are off on the 31st, so I will send out some inquiries then.
Personal life: I need to run toward the relationships, not away when things get sticky. I need to run toward a more balanced life. I need to "focus on his provision, his power and his presence instead of my problems." His grace is sufficient and he will meet all my needs according to his plan.
What is God asking you to run toward right now?
