Dreamer & Entrepreneur
As you probably gathered from my calling blog post, I am still uncertain where God really wants me in the future. However, a part of me also feels like this is how God has made me to be. I want to be someone that does not get stuck in doing one thing for the rest of my life. I want to be a person that is open to change and dreaming about the future and all that is to come. I do not what to be someone who defines themselves by what their career is. I am not defined by the fact that I am a student or that I currently work for Campus Safety. I am defined by the way God sees me. I have also thought about being an entrepreneur, and I think this goes along with being a dreamer. I am open to doing whatever I find a need for, as long as it is glorifying to the Lord.
Volunteer
I also see myself as a full-time volunteer. In my life after graduation, I want to make sure that my heart is always tuned to service. I want to be involved in helping the community around me, whether that means volunteering for nonprofits regularly, or simply being available to talk to or mentor people in my church congregation. I want my life to be less about myself and more about other people. This is something that I am still developing and still trying to improve on. As a Christ follower, I want to be constantly striving to love God more and to serve others better. This also applies to the next section, where I talk about wanting to become a wife and a mother. Both of these things involve a great amount of sacrifice and service.
Wife & Mother
While this is probably a lot more in the future, being a wife and a mother are two things that are very important to me. I have always really valued family and the community that it cultivates. I want to build a strong, Godly household for my children to grow up in. While I know I will fail at times, I want my kids to grow up knowing that I love them deeply and unconditionally. I also want to be a strong and Godly wife. I want my husband to be supported and to always feel loved and cared for. I also want to have a joyful household. Within the last few months, I have been rediscovering the importance of laughter and joy in the life of believers. This is often what draws nonbelievers into Christianity, as they see the light that we live with daily. This is something that I want my family to model. I want to raise kids who do not live out of fear, but out of love and joy.
Overall, I want to be someone that holds strong to my convictions and loves people well. I want my life to be about love, transparency, generosity, loyalty, and hard work.
