One of the most common questions I asked God is, "What do you want me to do with my life?" or "What is Your will?" I always thought there would be some big out-of-the-sky answer like a huge Revelation. I knew there were some things I really liked to do but I didn't want to do something that I just wanted, but I really wanted it to be His will. I want to preface, since I was a kid I have always wanted to be a missionary, so I have thought about this many many times I just wasn't sure if this is what God wanted for my life. I heard a pastor talk about trying the Lord's will, meaning the Lord isn't keeping what He wants for my life a secret, He wants me to know. So I started paying attention to my likes, dislikes, passions, etc. I found I really love getting to know people, I love traveling, and I especially love learning about other cultures and languages! So I knew these were things I desired I just wasn't sure if this was something the LORD wanted for me. So, I had the privilege of going on two mission trips in my Junior year of college. I went on a short mission trip in the U.S. and one overseas. I enjoyed both both my heart was heavily burdened over those overseas.
So, I started looking at overseas options: would I use my degree, or would forget my degree altogether. After praying I didn't feel peace leaving my degree I felt the LORD wanted me to use it I just didn't know how. I was then told about GoCorps through my campus ministry, and that I could use my degree overseas for the next two years. So, I looked into the options and honestly only one really stuck out to me. So, I reached out to GoCorps and met with one of the coaches. The whole time I asked God to close the door if this wasn't what He wanted and if it was to please let it go smoothly and peacefully. From the time I talked with a GoCorps coach, to the time I accepted the job was only about a month. Everything went so smoothly but I was still nervous. The Lord then made it so clear this was His path for me over and over again since then. Leading up to my launch day I am super nervous but I know without a shadow of a doubt this is where the LORD wants me so I know it's for my good and His glory! I think the Lord reveals to each person specific to them. For some, it's to be still and listen, for others to get up and go. Keep your eyes and ears open for what He is clearly telling you.
