So today in Sunday school we talked about giving up things for God and how he will give it back 10x. Latter on in the day I saw Bruce Almighty and it also touched on that subject. And then it hit me , how true it really was. If you give something up to God and let Him use it. Not wanting anything in return and being patient about his decision in your life and about what you gave up for him. He will give it back 10x. It gave me this memory of something that happened to me the summer of 05 sometime after the Calgary stamped. I had a huge "issue" going on in my life and in my heart and well, I wanted this thing, I wanted it A LOT. I mean like a lot a lot right, but I could tell God wanted me to give it up to Him. Well I didn't do it right away or with in the next 2 weeks. But I did give it up before school had started. And I had thoughts about it after but I did give it up to God tho. And for 2 years God had not given anything back, and well I didn't except anything from him, I had just about forgotten what I had given up. It wasn't until about, last December??or November??? that I had remembered about it. I started to like, think about it again, and then again, until it was on my mind just about 24/7. But I said to my self, David you don't have it because God does not want you to have it yet. I said that to my self day after day after day. That went on for 2 months and then finally, God gave it back after almost 3 YEARS!! And boy was I overwhelmed by it. It hit me in the face like a rock and it was good. It changed me from sad to like super happy dude.
So I kinda got a layout of what I want to do after High school. And well I need to pray that this is the path that God wants me to take. I mean I need to PRAY ALOT about this..
Well after high school I want to go to University and take Pre-Law and some other courses involving Law and or legal subjects so I have some outline of what lawyers do in there cases. This way when I become a cop I will have some ideas of what lawyers will do. After I finish at the University I would enroll in the Canadian Armed forces for a while. I want to do this because (this is going to sound like a "suck up" some people might think but..) you see all those TV adds about how you should sponsor a child and how bad they have got it. But what you don't see is all the things happening to countries with Civil wars and the racism and all these things and here I am sitting at home doing nothing. I want to join the armed forces and be apart of a UN mission of some sort so I can actually say I've done something about it.Well some time after that I would enroll as a police officer so I can help the people around me and protect the people around me.
Well that's the layout of what I want to do, but is this what God wants me to do??I'm still thinking about that and I need to pray for it. I need to talk to God and see if that is what he wants me to do. And it would be GREAT if you the reader of this blog could pray for me! thanks!!
Dear God,
This is my plan Lord, and I place it in your hands God. Mold it as you please Lord and I pray that You hand it back to me as Your plan for me
In Jesus Name
Amen
