This last week I took a missions class and a class on the book of Philippians. I learned so much from both of these teachers and they were both blessed beyond comprehension in their fields. I have been praying and meditating on my future and I have a desire to become a pilot. I want to fly medical supplies or food to isolated towns. craving to chase after God's will for my life is my desire right now, though. Prayers toward my future and just everything working up to my next big decision. Pray that I could learn that people were created by God and I should care deeply about who they are and where God is taking them in their lives as well. I am inspired by people who can listen without speaking; it would be an answer to prayer if I were able to actually understand and apply that concept to my life.
I also would love prayers for the relationships I am building here at school. pray that I could move pass my worry and fear of people judging me and move towards letting them know my testimony and sharing with them because I desire to give God glory through my life. I think it would be awesome if someone showed interest in my life and asked me how I REALLY am feeling and actually care about how I am doing here. There are few people here that I can trust enough to tell anything to about my personal life at this point. I almost feel like I am back in High School and I am struggling just to make friends with people. Working on my maturity in Christ is something that I am definitely trying to focus on as well but that requires that I apply the scripture I read to my life and I struggle with actually living out a faith that HATES the world. I love people don't get me wrong but I am recognizing how submerged I am in the worldly attributes of societal meaning. I want to be a Christian who people see by their actions and a Christian who turns her back from all worldly concepts to adopt a new perspective of how a life lived through Christ should look. In Philippians I read the verse 1:21 which says, "for me, to live is Christ and to die is gain." I want to be able to have the characteristics of God be personified through me. I want to go out and seek after the Kingdom of God knowing that what I am doing is for the WILL of the father, knowing that what I am doing is for a glorifying purpose. The night before last night I went to my friends house to watch "The Avengers"(great movie!) ,but Loki has a pretty good line when he says, "I am burdened with a glorious purpose." I want to feel burdened by this purpose. I want to feel like its my only way of life and that Jesus overcame the cross and so I must overcome the world like he did. Prayers for my spiritual growth and dedication to the Word would be much appreciated.
prayers for me to realize that the life I am living is real, and has real meaning and real value and that I shouldn't treat it or think of it as a game. This is REAL LIFE!
