Essay / Giving My Life to God - 1277
Giving My Life to GodIt wasn't a specific day or date that I remember, but more or less a period of time where I spent the majority of my time “reflect on my life”. ". It was during my first year of college, I was going through a major transition. Moving away from home, not just to school, but across the country, from Virginia to California. I was faced with the reality that the actions I took then could have a huge impact on the rest of my life. I spent a lot of time trying to imagine my future, trying to understand what was going to happen to me in the future. Where was I going to be? What was I going to do? Was I going to end up marrying my boyfriend, Matt? Would I be happy? Was I going to be a mother? Would I succeed? I wanted to know everything. I tried to evaluate everything, like my reasons for joining USF, was ROTC right for me, can I do it? There were weeks where I questioned everything I did. I have rethought every aspect of every dimension of my life. I thought about every decision I made that could possibly determine things on my life path. I was searching for the meaning of everything I did, everything I chose, and why God had put me where I was. I was very upset with myself and frustrated because deep down I knew God was responsible for what was going to happen to me. I knew he would take care of me and put me where he wanted me to be. In all honesty, I think it was at that moment that I realized it was time to allow God to take over, to no longer “question” my destiny or the meaning of my life . I let God completely take over and gave Him back His job, my future, and my life.
