Desperate?? Me too!!!

Graphic Design! Art! Writing!
Whats it gonna be?!?!?

Being a soon to be graduate, I'm bombarded with the ever so complicated yet often asked question " So what are you going to do with your life?"

I'm not really sure ya know? I don't know if Ill be a pilot, or a fireman, or a toe doctor! I SIMPLY DON'T KNOW YET!

I do know I have a never-ending gut punching desire and passion for art! I'm not the best and some of my real legit work always makes its way from my heart.

SO...how can I put forth that talent and passion to the one who created it and put it inside of me? I'm thinking by first acknowledging that it is HIS! Yes HIS! He is the foundation of art in itself! It all started with Him. Look at the sun, the moon, the stars! Its all of His work. All of His Ideas!

I find myself in awe that it all started inside of His head. All of it. I know that I don't have the brain capacity (or the attention span!) to one day wake up and create a ball of blazing fire no man can stand to look at let alone touch! And then name it "Sun." I just couldn't do it. But It fills me with awe and joy to know that I SERVE a God who can and did it!

If He can think up such a masterpiece and such a beautiful display of art that brings Glory to Him and His being, I know with out a doubt He can do the same thing in my life.

Sometimes I find myself so stressed out and so discouraged seeking out what God has in store for my life. I will pray until I'm blue in the face and yet still feel insignificant in what God has for me. I will look deep inside myself and think "Is there something missing? Something Im doing wrong?"

I have a hero (okay in all reality every ones my hero simply because of what they add to life) and she will tell you I call on her often Lol. I remember one time I was spilling that I just wanted to KNOW! what it was God wants me to do. I want a map, I want names, I want it all! She simply looked at me and said "Donna, don't quit when your done." I sat back and let that sink into me. It brought me back to the countless times I was on my face begging God for anything, just anything and in that moment I felt God looking down on me proud and beaming at how desperate I WAS for Him. He encouraged me and showed me that after that wed or sunday or youth convention or youth camp that I stood up without a word from Him, that I always ended up right back at His feet! And oh how proud He was!!!

At this point in my life I wake up each day with a new sense of encouragement and confidence that God has something incredible for my life and each time I am on my face seeking Him and desperately crying out to Him, He begins to add to that call.

I know sometimes we struggle with impatience and the unknown...but take it from my own life. Get desperate for just God Himself and I can just about guarantee He will not leave you empty handed. In fact! As you pray and seek Him out I encourage you to pray for the day when God decides to pour out His thoughts and Ideas on you that you are in a place where you can handle it! Its gonna be worth the wait!
