I'll Go Where You Want Me To Go

One of the strangest things for me to do is adjust to my home life. When I ended my mission, I thought I was ready to step back into the real world and just jump back into the way things are before. I have determined, however, it's not that easy. It's been a learning experience as I have so many things to focus on now - getting a job, getting ready for school, losing weight, strengthening my relationships with my family - it's a lot to focus on and work with.

I have thought repeatedly about how much I wish I was back in Tennessee, doing the Lord's work. However, after prayer and study, I've realized that the full-time mission aspect of my life is done. I now have other things that the Lord wants me to do with my life. I don't know quite what those are yet - but I have to figure them out and deal with them! I have to submit my will with the Will of the Lord.

One of my favorite hymns of all time is #270 - "I'll Go Where You Want Me To Go". It is the way I have been feeling the past few months - getting ready to come home, and then actually coming home. It constantly reminds me that if I do what the Lord wants, I'll come out where I need to be and do what I need to do. I'm grateful for that truth in my life.
