Well, this is the first blog I've written in a while! This past month has been crazy-I went to Awana Summit out in Chicago, IL and God really blessed our team and we made many memories and built closer friendships. After Summit, my family stayed in Chicago along with another family to look at Wheaton College and Moody Bible Institute! We had a wonderful time, and God clearly showed me that I am supposed to go to Moody Bible Institute and devote my life to ministry! About a month or so before we went to tour the colleges, I was really praying and asking God whether or not He wanted me in full-time ministry. It was then that He gave me some verses in Isaiah that pierced my heart and that strongly affirmed that He wants me to serve Him through ministry. So even before we went to tour the colleges, my heart was leaning towards Moody, though I wasn't sure if that was what God had in mind.
But the moment we stepped onto the Moody campus, the Lord spoke to me in His still, small voice and said "This is it. This is where I want you, and this is where you're supposed to be." This excites me immensely, but it also scares me-I'm the kind of person who doesn't really like change, but I am learning to trust in the Lord and give my fears and insecurities to Him.
God has given me a peace about going into ministry and going to Moody. I'm not sure exactly what capacity of ministry God has called me to, though I've felt called to be a missionary in China since I was 6 years old. I guess that I just need to keep on listening to the Lord, for He is faithful.
On a side note, I must say that after being at Summit, surrounded by other amazing Christian peers, I feel so energized and spiritually full! I am so thankful to be serving the Living God, and to be His child-redeemed by the precious blood of Jesus. Though the future is rather daunting at times, I know that the Lord will go before me, and that He is beside me every step of the way.
