It has been almost a year since this website’s last blog post, so I thought it would be time for another. A lot has changed in the last year as I am now in my first job out of college doing cybersecurity. I enjoy it and picked the right field where I will feel fulfilled and can make a real positive difference in the world. However, in life, we come to a lot of crossroads. Should I make this decision or that, take this job or that, move here or move there? It can be overwhelming to think about how every decision has led you to this point in time and every decision you make will determine where you will end up. This line of thinking although necessary, can lead to the wrong places.
This leads me to this blog post, I am making big life decisions that will affect my life for the foreseeable future. Both have positives, negatives, risks, and rewards. This could lead me to be extremely stressed and unable to handle my day-to-day; however, I have peace in the storm. I believe that every decision in life comes down to answering the call God has placed on your life or not. It is not always clear what God’s call is and sometimes you answer the call and the time isn’t yet. That unknown is what causes such stress and anxiety if you let it. As I sit in the middle of yet another life decision I know that either decision I make God can use it but also I know to fight my internal gravitation towards comfort over calling. I don’t know what decision I will make yet but I know I will be led to the right one if I truly ask God and truly listen and look for the open door.
I am grateful to even have the ability to have a decision to make and am looking forward to seeing how God uses me where I am.
