As many of you know (if you know me), I changed my major recently. I am no longer a social work student and I am now a Cross-Disciplinary student. My major now consists of a minor and two study/focus areas. Because I have the most credits in social work, that is my official minor. My other focuses are criminal justice and ministry.
And I have no idea what I'm going to do with my life.
Up until a month ago, I knew exactly where my life was headed and how I was going to get there. And I think that God likes to change things up a little so we have to rely on Him in even greater measures. And boy, am I still learning.
Don't get me wrong, the domestic violence field is still very much implanted in my heart, but not in the same way. I have been seriously considering being a police officer. And after many people who haven't known this telling me that I should be a cop and that they think I would be good at it, I took to praying about it and seeking God's will through that.
So in comes the ministry part.
Not only do I want to apply to the academy, but I also want to be able to minister to the community around me. I want to start a program for children who have no place to go, no one to really take care of them...I guess you could say I want to start a community outreach. Set children up with mentors, give them a place to hang out after school, just something.
And on top of all that... I want to try and change the system from the inside out. I am still very passionate about those affected by domestic violence. I want to try to get laws changed that make it more than a violation.
But who knows where God will take me, except God Himself...
I'll just wait and see what He wants of me. And I will continue to pray and seek His will. And maybe I can make a difference in someone's life.
