i went on a seminary visit today (after much prodding from Marcus and Sam - but only in the most loving way...) to Western.
i really liked what the people i talked to had to say - and they seemed genuinely interested in what my goals and plans were.
all in all, it was a good visit. makes me actually want to go to seminary.
yes. i said it. i want to go to seminary.
whoa.
so many plans to make about the future. it's hard, sometimes. i believe God doesn't just wait for us to figure out our calling - it's not some fall out of sky huge religious experience. rather, we make choices based on our passions and the pull we feel on our hearts. and sometimes doors open that we weren't expecting which can lead us down a completely different path than we had anticipated the day before.
so many different choices and ways i could go.

I agree with you so much!
My mom and I were talking about my future, and I just said, "I don't think I can wait for some lightning bolt from the sky." Sure, it would be nice, because there are so many options right now...
I can't believe I'm saying this, but I'm thankful God closes doors too.
and hopefully you don't find it odd that I'm posting on your wall... I don't regularly stalk you. :) I'm just enjoying all this free time!
Talk to my dad about calling.
... ... okay, so you probably won't. We had a conversation pre-college years about it and he, basically, said that the Spirit works through your heart outward. And hardly the other way around.
By the way! This is Alvin. On Joel's computer! Alvin has no idea what Joel's dad's thoughts on calling are.
I find that God can be sneaky, crafty, and confusing when experiencing life, and wise, omniscient and loving when we look back on it.
Also, what Alvin said, but worded differently and from MY dad.
i disagree with alvin. do not talk to his dad about calling. he will convict you to your core with simple words that you will never be able to forget--or so i've heard.
