I went to Oak Mountain this morning. I think it’s been at least two or three years since I went up there. Which means it’s been way too long since I went.
When I was in college (it’s hard to believe that it’s been four and a half years since I graduated) I used to go to Oak Mountain once a month — at the very minimum. My first two years I probably went once or twice a week. Going to a park or driving has always been my way of relaxing, and thinking about big issues.
This time my issue has been — should I leave the state that I have called my home for the past twentyish years? I had a devotion up there and found the following verse on “decide”:
Each man should give what he has decided in his heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.
2 Corinthians 9:7
I believe that God is pushing me towards moving to Boston. It definitely scares me…but I know that to not act because of fear is definitely not His will, regardless of which way I choose. I have the freedom to do so, but it should not be because I’m afraid of going.
From praying and studying today I just have the feeling that God has filled me with this abilities to plan and lead for a reason. He has planned on me using them for big things (on His scale). I know that even if I don’t decide to go He will still love me and have big plans for me, but I feel this is where He is nudging me.
