The beginning.

Starting this blog seems like such a huge deal. I have actually been putting it off for quite some time. To me it is the start of this huge and unknown adventure to WHO EVEN KNOWS WHERE (well maybe the people that were at the NAD meeting today...). It also feels like the end of my life as I know it, as cliche as that sounds. But really, it's just me taking a step further in my life with God as my guide.

As of now, I do not know where I will be going this coming year. I was supposed to have been voted on today but I haven't heard any news. I'm praying and praying and giving it over to God always but I absolutely cannot help but feel anxious! I know, in my heart, that my future is with God and He always has my best interests in mind, but I just don't feel it. But holding on to the knowledge really is the beauty of faith.

Anyone's prayers are always appreciated. These coming days are sure to be full of anxiety and question but always of God's presence as well. This verse is one that I have been clinging to for the past month, ever since Student Missions vespers when the reality of everything became clear:
"I have called you back from the ends of the earth, saying, 'You are my servant.' For I have chosen you and will not throw you away. Don't be afraid, for I am with you. Don't be discouraged, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you. I will hold you up with my victorious right hand." Isaiah 41:9-10
This blog will hopefully be a peak into the journey I am currently on seeking out God's will near and far. Welcome. :)

  3. Hey Danielle!

    Its so neat you've started a blog! I'm trying to get around to creating one myself. That was a very candid entry and I think it was very insightful. May God be with you in this time of uncertainty but just remember that He will certainly see you through all of this! I'm so proud of you
