what now?

I have found myself being asked the question,"what are you going to do once you graduate?" a lot over the past few months.  To which I stop with some what a puzzlement look on my face. This is not a deep theological, critical thinking question but one I should be able to answer right off the bat.  For the past three years I have been studying at Lee in the field of Pastoral Ministries.  So my initial response is that I would like to go into full-time ministry. But, as I have discovered over the past few years, ministry is a much broader term than what I had originally thought when I started down the path to ministry over five years ago. I am lost in a tangle of directions with no real sense of what kind of ministry I feel lead to do.  Over the past five years I have been involved in leading worship, youth ministry, evangelism and recently young adults ministry and graphic design. I took last semester off to regroup and rediscover my passion and after an eight month internship leading in a young adults ministry and working with youth I am still in the same predicament.

I know this, I am content to do what ever the Lord leads me to do in whatever direction He leads. I am reminded time and time again in Jeremiah 29:11 that He knows the plans that are before me.  I live my life daily in search of that which He has planned. 

So what now, I seek after the One who has seen me in the high places and the low places and guides my every step. I do not have the answers, at one time I thought I had it all planned out but shortly after that God rocked my world and flipped everything upside down. So, I would rather live life on the edge, but diligently living a life in a relentless pursuit after God.
