As I look towards my 22nd birthday this week (already! how did time fly by so quickly?), and as I try to maneuver around choices regarding my future, I realize that being an adult is hard not because there's no one telling you what to do anymore but because oftentimes, there is no right answer that anyone would be able to command you to believe or follow. Of course, there are blatantly wrong things (illegal things, unbiblical things, etc.), but when it comes down to deciding between two or more technically "good" things or "right" things, it really means putting trust in God and taking a step of faith in one direction, believing that (provided it's not illegal or unbiblical or totally unwise) God will allow that path to be fruitful if we are faithful.
This Lent season will be interesting because I'm in a place where I have been before - the struggles aren't necessarily new, the things that must be surrendered have been surrendered before in different forms - but that doesn't mean God won't be moving in my life. I just have to make sure I commit to Him because I've been in danger of falling into (or perhaps I have already fallen into) a senioritis of all forms - academic, emotional, spiritual.
Let my heart and mind be open to receive Your guidance and Your grace! There is nothing I can't surrender to You if I have Christ to strengthen and encourage me.
