Deciding
Hey guys this is Arlan here, I'm at the camp right now helping with kaleo prep and soon going on a mega sweet kayak trip with my sister Sept 9-14 which I'm so stoked for. The question is what after that?
(idea 1)So as some may know I'm thinking about heading to Nanaimo there is some sweet riding for the bike in that town, a few awesome people I know and so far at least 2 churches I could go to, and hopefully get involved with. I'm thinking about a construction related job, but also with commitment getting enrolled with an apprenticeship, but that would be like 4 year deal, and I could possibly do this in Nana or in ON but see I don't know where to go cause on the flip side (idea 2) I have a desire to go back home and be with my family for a while, then head to New York in March.
Anyways I'm kind of stuck on where to go and what to do with my life, aren't we all! It seems I just can't make up my mind and I am really seeking direction and leading from God. I have a slight idea that he wants me to do (idea 2), but I have this kind of dream to do something with my mountain bike passion, and Nanaimo could be a real good place to do it. There is the saying "you've got to give everything up for God," and if I go home and then to New York I'd be giving a lot up, but then there is the saying "God gives you dreams and desires for a reason so go for your dreams" and Nanaimo seems like a town where I could start some dreams. Now come to think of it both of these could be either dream and giving up everything for God, but I'm stuck in a rut with where God's leading me to go, and I want it to be his lead rather than my choice. Your prayer would be awesome!
Oh I've been reading the blog it is good to here from you guys, I'm going to try check this out more often actually haven't checked it since Kaleo ended, sorry guys. Hope all you guys going to school will love what you learn and that what is real important will stay in the brain. This is life.
