How To Find God's Plan For Us

       Most of the time I sit up at night wondering what God has planed for me a. I thought for awhile that my purpose was to be a youth minister but as the days,weeks,ad months went on I really didn't see that happening. I mean I really wanted to do it but i just felt like it wasn't what God wanted me to do.So the question still stands. What does God have plan for my life?? 


      Like most people, when try so hard to figure out "The Big Plan", I try to sit and just wait for my burning bush to point me in the right direction but apparently it isn't that simple or I would have figured my plan out a long time ago. Proverbs 3:6 promises us, "In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths." Psalm 37:23 tells us, "The step of a good man are ordered by he lord". God's word plainly tells us that God will help us find his direction, but how do we seek his help?


I think I might have an answer. Since we were kids people have told us, ask and you shall receive, and sometime it is that easy.But this isn't a random person we're asking something from this is God. You can't expect to say "hey God what's your plan for me" and poof there's your answer. Like I have come to know, you have to meditate and pray on what you think is right for your life and just keep meditating and praying on the idea until you fell its what God wants for your life. 


I hope this helped you. :)

My Fall Retreat :)

 Recently my youth group and I went on a "Fall Retreat" to Copperhill, Tennessee. It was great, the only bad part about it was walking up that darn mountain every time we had to sleep,shower, or meet as a group. The first day ,or should I say, the first "full day" we were there we had a ropes coarse to do which was AWESOME......hahaha                                                                                                


The same day we went horse back riding. My horse, Hank, was so weird he always tried to stop and eat anything he could and the horse in front of  Hank and I ,Bo, was the meanest horse there. He always turned around and tried to intimidate Ole' Hank haha.
(Olivia didn't know this when she took this pic, but that's Hank )
The Rest of that day was a bunch of random stuff like planking, bonfires, or College Football games hahah.
