a year of transitions this year is likely to be...and it scares me. wish there was some excitement involved, coz then at least it'd be worth looking forward to. haha but i don't quite feel it yet. hoping i will soon tho.gonna graduate in a couple of months and the reality of that scares me to bits.then with that, comes the question of whether it's time to move on to PathMakers. i'm comfortable where i am and i love my kids and what i do...but something my mom said last night struck me - that God always shifts us when we're getting too comfortable. or are there other areas in youth min God may want to use me in? and suddenly, family means so much more. and being home instead of being out all the time is an easy choice. their opinon somehow means so much more now.while doing qt today, something struck me real hard - that with all the changes that are coming my way, some doors will be open while others will be firmly shut. and i believe that God will show me thru His Word, thru pple important to me and who speak into my life, and otherwise. and i suddenly remembered that as a kid and teenager, i hardly took "no" for an answer well. would almost always sulk and pull a long face. but my mom always says that i was taught how to take my parents' yes as yes and no as no without questioning them or challenging their authority much and that i wasn't allowed to pout for long before i got told off or sent to my room. and as i grew older, i was also allowed to make more decisions on my own as my parents began to trust me and give me more space. and i realized that they've not said no to me in a long time. but as i seek Him in big decisions that are coming my way, there'll prob be "nos" along the way and i wanna learn to take these "nos" well and trust that He knows best and give thanks nonetheless.
