Finding HIS Will!

         Often times, people are fooled into the notion that there is a path they have to follow to reach the epiphany of the journey we call life.  This hoax has become more believable than ever in today's society, twisted and writhing in wickedness.  Many young teenagers, including myself, are told to start planning our future out now, and find colleges we are interested in. College is a must-have.  Students begin dreaming of the jobs that make the big bucks, and they start talking like they're life is an open book.  I'm not saying that this a bad thing, but where does God's will come in. Is college in God's will for you? A huge job? Fame and fortune? Although these things fit puzzle-perfect into the American dream, they may struggle to fit in with God's dream for us.  
         I am currently reading the book Kisses from Katie; by Katie Davis, an all together awesome story of an individual who willingly strayed from the world's plan for her and sought after Her Almighty Creator's will for her.  Katie Davis, the author, came out of Highschool being number one in her class, Homecoming Queen, and with an abundance of college options. However, she became interested in mission work some time before college, so she traveled to Uganda, with its clay-red streets and grinning people.  Katie found her true calling in Uganda, and is now a school-teacher, a mom of 13 Ugandan girls, and a servant to God. Katie is a rare finding, as she found a calling outside of the life that many American teens seek after from the very beginning.
