NEW CHANGES, NEW BEGINNINGS, NEW OUTLOOK

Being a college graduate is definitely having its lessons being learned. Throughout these past few weeks I have been pulled towards to many different directions on what I am supposed to do with my life. Am I supposed to go back to school, stay here in the Hilton Head area, move to a different state, etc? It is kind of funny how when you have had a routine for so many years and know what expect. Now I don't know what to expect. All I know is that there is an amazing journey out there for me if I would just believe it. My relationship with the Lord has been slacking and I haven't had the community or friends around me that I used to have. Coming back to a place where I have a few friends is kind of tough but I am changing my outlook and going to meet new people and rekindle old friendships. The new friendships that I have are pretty amazing! I want to start a new beginning and outlook on life of joy, hope, forgiveness, letting go of friends who disrespected me, love, standing up for the Gospel, serving Christ and people, beginning to trust the Lord more for what He has for me, and being positive about each new day that I live in. We are not promised tomorrow so I want to live everyday that God has given me to the fullest even if I do not enjoy what I am doing in it. We are called to love and serve one another and I want to get involved in more opportunities of doing that. I am starting a business and I am praying that the Lord will guide it to wherever it is supposed to go. I don't want to live life without a purpose anymore. I have been put on this world for a calling in my life. I may not know what that is yet, but it may be in my everyday living. Not everyone is going to be the nicest and I am ok with that. I am in the process of finding the right group for me and working on my heart at the same time. I am grateful for everything that I have in my life and trusting the Lord for His direction. My new outlook is going to be based upon love and having a positive attitude when things don't go my way. Trials will come, but the storm will soon pass and the light will guide the way. I just have to stay strong and keep the faith!
