While You Are Waiting Series: So What Do I Do Now?

       You've graduated from college, earned your degree, and are ready to take on the world. Only, you weren't expecting to do it alone were you? In your "once upon a time" world were expecting to meet that special someone at college and move from there fully supported, protected, and guided. After all it would be his responsibility to provide for you, and you- well you would be free to pursue your career or settle down into keeping house if you so desired. But there are never two stories alike. That is what makes life an adventure. So you have been handed your adventure, now what do you do with it?

       

      1. Embrace it.

    

      You have been given an awesome opportunity to take a “deer trail” off the well- traveled path. You will have the opportunity to experience what others can’t. So except it with arms open wide, and don’t live like a victim in desperate straits. Like C.S. Lewis stated in his Chronicles of Narnia, “Let us take the adventure that [God] has set before us.”

    

      2. Learn from it.

    

     You will never go through something for nothing. For every time there is a purpose and reason. The lessons you learn will form you. One way or the other you will become who God intended you to be. Depending on how quickly you learn, depends on the quantity of what you are able to learn.

   

    3. Share it.

    You don’t just learn for you. You are learning for others. You have the opportunity to blaze a trail for others to follow. What you go through will encourage others to press forward and not give up. The wisdom God allows you to learn can be passed down either to aid others in not make the same mistakes you have or in responding correctly as you did. Jesus came to be our example as well as our Savior. We as His followers can do no less.

         

    Don't let your fear hold you back. Take the adventure set before you, and be who you were created to be.
