I love how we spend all of our lives trying to figure out what God's plan is when oftentimes, He sends little clues to show us what we're supposed to do with our lives.
Take this morning for example. I woke up at like 9 and worked on a new song I'm learning on the piano. I then cooked bacon and eggs for my sister and I. I know most people wouldn't do this, but I worked on Spanish a bit. Then I sat down, ate my breakfast, and decided to do some blogging while I have time to kill. After this, I'm going to study the Bible for a bit, then go for a walk and go swimming. After that it's homework time, and then I tutor this afternoon.
These actions sound pretty normal. But if you look at each action I did, there's a thought. If you look behind each thought I was having as I did those actions, it revealed the desires I have on my heart. Let's look and see.
Working on song for piano-Well, this song was actually a Taylor Swift song that I've been relating to lately haha. But usually when I play piano I play worship songs or old hymns to help me worship God. I know that even though it's the hardest thing I have to do, I have to love God with my actions and let love not just be a song I play on the piano.
Cooking breakfast-I love to cook and I wish I was able to do it more. When I was cooking breakfast for two, I was imagining what it'll be like to cook for my husband one day. I know that God has put this desire on my heart to get married.
Spanish-Um I am absolutely crazy because I don't know many people who would speak Spanish aloud to themselves just to practice it and refresh their minds of old vocabulary??? But I know that God has put Spanish on my heart for a reason. I want to teach it to high school students one day, spend time overseas for at least a semester, and do translation work for people in the US. I also want to teach English as a Second Language.
Blogging-I like to write and talk about things I've learned in life. I always have a story to tell. I hope that one day I can use my life experiences to help people and teach people.
Bible-This is simple. I need God and to read about what He has to teach me that day. I've heard it like this: B.asic I.nstructions B.efore L.eaving E.arth.
Exercise-I love to walk and swim because it's fun! I'm trying to get in shape and lose a bit of the Freshman 15, so it's a great way to do it. When I exercise, I think about life. For some reason, when I walk I start daydreaming about living overseas in somewhere like Guatemala where I'd have to do a lot of walking..and that makes me really excited!
Homework-When I do my homework, I think about just getting it over with ha! But in my heart, I know that by taking these courses for my degree, I'm one step closer to being a teacher and that makes me excited.
Tutoring-I love my job as a tutor for my college's foreign language lab and also as a private tutor for high school students. I've gotten to where I look forward to this job. When I do this, I think about how I cannot wait to be a teacher one day and how I can make hard material easier to understand.
All of these little actions I do on a random day like Tuesday have thoughts that I think as I do each thing. If you look at all of my thoughts, you can see the desires I have on my heart. These show me what God wants me to do with my life-be a Spanish teacher, spend some time overseas, encouraging people, more than likely teenagers, getting married, and more. If you don't know what you want to do with your life, just look at the little things you do each day and what you're thinking as you do them. You can find your desires in no time :)
