I like looking back to see where life has taken me. It's quite exciting. However, at this particular moment in my life I wonder where life WILL take me...what does the future hold?
Some people know what they want to do in life from day one and they go for it and they succeed. I've never been that way. There have been times in my life when I was frustrated with this, but I've come to understand that people are different and I guess that's not really how I work. I usually have ideas and random dreams that will stir about in my mind for awhile. Then I will research more about these dreams, look at the details, and decide what seems to work best at that time...and then I pray to know what's right and just kind of go for it.
That is how I ended up in Chile for 10 weeks to study spanish...as well as in Washington D.C. for 10 weeks for an internship.
That is how I ended up in Texas for the past four years of my life playing soccer for a small, yet wonderful, university. And I cannot explain how happy I am with that decision.
That is how I chose Accounting as my major, despite the common stereo-type that only extremely boring and lifeless people work in the field of Accounting (which is quite wrong by the way).
And that is also how life has brought me back home to Utah for grad school at BYU, something that never crossed my mind four years ago when I moved away.
So where will life take me next? Not just physical location...but what will I do?
I'm not sure at this moment. I have many different ideas of things I want to do in life. Some may be far-fetched, and some pretty certain. There are many possibilities and excitements...followed by many uncertainties and fears.
Despite not knowing everything that's down the road...there are some things I do know. I know God has a plan for me and that He is watching over me. I believe that my somewhat randomness in life has been a result of the Lord leading me. And I know that as I strive to better myself, trust in the Lord, follow Him, and make the most of this stage of life, everything will work out and I'll end up where I need to be.
