Revelations

In the months preceding training, I was pretty sure that God would reveal what He wants me to do with my life during training, or at least what I should study after training, if not what I should do with my life.

We went through different modules, one of which was “Knowing God’s Purpose and Will”. As we did that, I thought God might confirm what He wanted me to study during that time.

It’s now been about 3 and a half months since training started, and I must admit that I have almost no clue what I should study. Important people in my life all have differing opinions, from me and from one another.

The strange thing is... I’m okay with being clueless. I don’t have that much time left to decide, but I’m at peace about it. I don’t know what God’s will for me is yet, but I know that as I pray and seek Him, He will reveal it to me in His totally perfect timing, and that until then, I really don’t have to worry about it. He has it all planned out :)

So I guess what God has shown me over training is much more than I’d asked for – instead of just revealing to me His will as to what I should study, He’s revealed to me the fact that I can trust Him with my whole life; my desires, hopes, fears and plans.

And He has revealed to me the next step after training – I’ll be heading to the Door of Hope in Johannesburg with 2 of my best friends, Lisa and Mackenzie :) It’s basically a ministry for abandoned children. There’s a hole-in-the-wall ministry where babies are left in a hole in the wall (that explains it!) by parents who are unable to look after them or don’t want to and would rather have someone else do so than totally abandon them, or abandoned babies are picked up from hospitals. So the people at Door of Hope look after these babies/children until they are adopted.

So yup, that’s it for now. We’re now doing the Re-entry module. It’s the beginning of the end of training...
