I will NEVER walk alone

"What are your plans for after graduation?"
"Do you know what you want to do?"
The most FAQ you get as a college senior, and I hate it.
My future is unknown and right now I am OK with that fact.
Since the last post I now have 164 days until I graduate!
I do get nervous when I dwell on the this fact: I am going to be working a 9-5 in less than 6 months. I don't want to think about the fact that I need to be proactive in getting a job.
One: I can and am just being lazy
Two: I don't want to add another TO DO to my already crazy list this semester
Three: I don't really know what I want to do
and Four: It really does make me nervous.

Today at Redeemer they played "Never Once" by Matt Redman during Worship. This song really reminds me that I might get really nervous not knowing but not once have I walked through life on my own. My Lord is going to pull me through this part of my journey too, just like He has in the past.
Here are some of the lyrics:

Standing on this mountaintop
Looking just how far we’ve come
Knowing that for every step
You were with us

Kneeling on this battle ground
Seeing just how much You’ve done
Knowing every victory
Was Your power in us

Scars and struggles on the way
But with joy our hearts can say
Yes, our hearts can say

Never once did we ever walk alone
Never once did You leave us on our own
You are faithful, God, You are faithful

Scars and struggles on the way
But with joy our hearts can say
Never once did we ever walk alone
Carried by Your constant grace
Held within Your perfect peace
Never once, no, we never walk alone

Never once did we ever walk alone
Never once did You leave us on our own
You are faithful, God, You are faithful

Every step we are breathing in Your grace
Evermore we’ll be breathing out Your praise
You are faithful, God, You are faithful
You are faithful, God, You are faithful


 
I am glad that I have had this fifth year of school (for a few reasons) but ultimately, not in a good way, it has allowed me to put off the inevitable. I have not had to think about what after college will look like because it has not ended yet, but now it is ending!
I have one big fear when it comes to getting done with school and that is: The Lord is going to send me somewhere that I do not want to go, or that is not on my list. This song helps me take that fear to the Lord and trust that He is going to work all things out for me, who loves Him. Because He is faithful! 
Even though I am a very stubborn person and am having a hard time coming to term with the fact that I could stay here in Norman or even head back to Fort Worth, I might not like it at first but I will be fine with it. Knowing that the Lord is in it, it much more important for me in where I end up. I know where I want to end up (West of here: Colorado, California etc) but His ways are higher than my ways and I need to get to a point where I will be ok if "West" is not where God wants me.


The Lord is going to contiune to be faithful in my life and show me where it is that I am going to grow His kingdom best. I will continue to seek Him and His will over mine!!
What does the Lord have for me?? Right now, I do not know. I am holding on to the fact that wherever it is He is going to be right there with me. Pray for me as I contiune to walk in this journey and become proactive as well as make the decision that need to be made.
