The next big thing

So many good things are happening right now and I am overwhelmed by the Lord's goodness in my life. In approximately 2 months I will be walking the stage with my B.S. in Mathematics and will be so proud to have completed something that has been a constant struggle. Shawn will also be graduating and we will celebrate with a big party!

With the end of this season of our lives I cannot help but wonder what is next? Shawn and I could do anything we want! We are almost debt free, we have no kids, no "real" commitments. I mean what is next? Every time I think about this question I always think about going off into a remote part of Africa or Asian and helping people. Lately, all the "problems" I face, like not knowing what to make for dinner? or taking a test? Or deciding what to do in a day, have been making me kind of sick. I mean there are people in this world who really are struggling everyday and not that I am not thankful for all that I have been given but surely there is something I can do to help. I took a test on Wednesday and when I was studying for it on Tuesday I watched the film on Kony and realized my test was almost meaningless in comparison to what is happening to these kids in Africa. I cannot be content with just sitting here doing nothing to help those who are struggling, but what does that look like for me?

So I am seeking the Lord for his direction in our lives. I have a feeling it will be something great, hands on, and at times uncomfortable, but I know that the Lord will prepare us for whatever he is calling us to.
