For the past two years I have gone on mission trips to Matamoros, Mexico with my church over spring break. My life was completely changed and my passion for traveling and working with kids is even stronger now. I am very excited to finally be able to see the light at the end of the tunnel and be almost finished with school, but the more I think about it the less I really want to teach.
I love kids and have always known that working with them is my passion in life but I just have a hard time believing that being in a classroom is going to feed my passion for traveling. I continually catch myself saying that I can't wait until I graduate because then my "real life" will start...then I will know what teaching is really like and if it is really everything I need it to be. I get so impatient and want God's complete purpose for my life to unfold NOW. I want to be married now, I want to have kids now, I want to be traveling the world now. I just don't know what to do to get there.
God has really shown me though, that if He revealed everything to me now and showed me step by step everything I need to do to get there that I would no longer seek after Him. I would no longer seek after His guidance, wisdom, and knowledge for every step I take and decision I make. I have to remember that I have been placed where I am now for a purpose..for His purpose...and that everything else will fall into place at exactly the right time...His time.
