312

I came to Belmont because I felt very clearly called there. And I can see, even two and a half years in, how incredibly purposeful God was in that. My major, up until recently, was Music Business. Why? Lack of a better idea, and I felt like if I was paying that much money to go to Belmont, I should do what they're known best for.

Then, last semester, I realized that I not only NEVER planned on using my Music Business degree, but that I actually hated it. So, I switched to Spanish. Why? Again, lack of a better idea. I love the language, and have always loved learning about new cultures. And there is something about meeting people where they are, language included, that sits well with my heart.

And then I came to Spain. I could write for days and I wouldn't even begin to scratch the surface of what God has been teaching me here. I've filled 312 pages in my journal in 98 days. Absurd and wonderful. One of the themes of those 312 pages is where I go from here. I have been wondering, since I am certain I neither want to nor am called to be a Spanish teacher. So, what am I supposed to do?

God has been revealing to me my gifts and passions, and how to use them to both know him better and teach others to know him better. My life is not my own. He has been teaching me that he can, and will, call me to the very things I find impossible. Because nothing is impossible for him, and "I can do all things through him who gives me strength." Phil 4:13

It's amazing how God has taken something I find both impossible and terrifying, and has made me excited about it.

So, off to nursing school I go.

But don't worry, Belmont friends. I will be finishing my degree at Belmont first. God's not finished with me in Nashville yet. :)
