My future plans

Today I made the drive down to Charleston, South Carolina to see my friend Mariah. Although it was hard to drive the whole way by myself, it was very nice; it was nice to just be alone and think and pray. One of the things that I have been thinking a lot about recently is my future. Not only has this been on my mind, but also being able to trust the Lord with my future and knowing that He is sovereign and no matter what I end up doing will be the best thing possible as long as it is His will. Anybody that knows me knows that I am very passionate about Physical Therapy and sports. Not only do I have a passion for those, but I also have a great passion for people and sharing God's love in any way possible. (Unfortunately I mess this up a lot but that's another blog another time!) Growing up my life was very sports oriented. Because of various physical ailments, I am not able to participate as competitively as I would like too, so I really enjoy helping others be able to participate. This is one of the main reasons why I really enjoy Physical Therapy. To be able to help people get back to their daily lives faster is an amazing blessing to watch unfold. As I watch the PTs that I work with do their jobs, I can't help but wonder if I am really going to be able to do that some day. Not because I think that I may not be good enough, but because I wonder if I will be able to physically keep up. I want to be a PT so bad, but Sometimes I wonder if I let my ideas of becoming one get in the way of me serving the Lord. Don't get me wrong, I know I can serve the Lord as a PT, but I don't know if I would be willing to give that up if the Lord called me to do something else. I pray that I will be able to though. I don't know, it all just seems so weird to think about how I might end up doing something different than what I have always thought that I would be doing. Another passion that I brought up earlier was talking with people and showing them God's love. I love getting to know people and learning why they are they way they are. It is so interesting to me to learn about a persons upbringing and what events have helped shape them into the person that they are today. Everybody has a story to tell and I love hearing them. Also, I love getting to talk to people and be able to give them a different perspective on things, remind them of who they are in Christ, or, if they aren't a Christian, talk to them about what I believe and give them something to think about. No matter what though, I love listening to people and talking with them. If I could do some kind of ministry for the Lord I would be more than happy. I don't really know how to go about all of this, but I am very interested in it, especially since I am physically falling apart and may not be able to go through with PT. I know I am rambling on, but I wanted to share a little bit more about what is going on in my life right now. Please keep me in your prayers, it is always appreciated. I am still young, but I do have to start thinking about my future and really be sensitive to the Spirit and where He wants me.
