A few months ago, as the spring semester of my sophomore year was coming to an end, God gave me a vision I hope to never forget, especially in these next few years of my life. At the time this vision occurred, I had been talking to a few different guys. I know this probably wasn't the best idea, but it seemed fun at the time. I was seriously considering making things more concrete with one or two of them...another bad idea of mine. Anyways, one night when I was almost asleep, God have me a vision that shifted my way of thinking:
I saw hills of black, barren dirt everywhere. For as far as I could see, there was nothing but lifeless, dart dirt. Buried under this land were bodies of the dead. I saw a figure pulling part of a man's arm out of the ground, the rest of his body still covered by dirt. I heard God say to me, "This is what you're dealing with. And if this is what you want, go ahead. I'm not going to stop you. But I have something so much better for you."
Whenever I feel frustrated or discouraged about my circumstances, I remember that vision. I'm done wasting my time and energy on spiritually dead and lifeless guys. God's best is out there somewhere, and I will wait for him.
In the meantime, I will continue to fall madly in love with the God of this universe! He amazes me more and more every day! :)
