God Has A Funny Way Of Telling You Things

God Has A Funny Way Of Telling You Things
Jenny Davis

When I first started college, I thought that everything was going to go my way and that I would graduate as a teacher four years later. Well, I guess God had a different plan for me and for my life. Plans that include me, in the middle of my sophomore year, changing my major. I realized through the decision process that I just needed to let go and to let God. I know, I know, people say that all the time, most of the time people just go on about their business. However, if you really do let go and let God, your life will change for the better and here are a few reasons why.

It feels like a weight is lifted off your shoulders

Last year, I thought my I had my plan all figured out but this semester, I felt a calling to change my major. A calling to change my major from Special Education to Christian Ministries. I have truly had a weight lifted off my shoulders when I finally took a leap of faith and talked to people about what I was feeling. A few friends have also told me that they have heard me talk more passionately about serving the Lord through teaching about him here and anywhere than they have ever heard me talk about education. After praying and seeking the Lord's guidance over the past few months, officially changing my major is making me so much more happy about what God is doing in my life!

Your life will change for the best and you will have a better relationship with God

Over the course of praying and seeking guidance, I have become more confident in myself. I have learned that if I want something, I need to pray and see if that is Gods plan for my life, and if it is, He will sure as the world tell me. My life, since I have first started this journey has definitely changed, and I am so glad that it has. I have great friends that support me in everything that I choose to do, and I am forever grateful that I have them in my life!

Your life will have more purpose

Before you even become part of God's kingdom, your life already has a purpose; but, when you become saved, and start doing the things that he tells you. Your life will become better than it ever has been. I would not change anything that I went through while going through this part of my life as Gods daughter. I am forever thankful that I have changed my major, and I can't wait to see where it takes me!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
