God has a plan for all of us in our lives whether we think it or not, whether we know what it is or not, or wether we're following that plan or not. Last week our topic was Destiny by Design. Its actually a devotional type thing written by Gwen Bergquist but our speaker used it as a guide for our class. Basically, the week revolved around the word DESIGN: Dreams, Experiences, Soulprint, Identity, Gifts, and Networking. Basically dreams is the dreams you have for your life are dreams that God has for you too! And he promises to meet them.
Experiences is the idea that all experiences in your life, both good and bad, can help further his kingdom and he will use your story to help others. Soulprint is your personality and how he made you; extroverted v.s. introverted, planner v.s spontaneous, etc. But he made you that way for a specific reason! Identity is who you are in GOD and only God. Not who the world says you are, your parents, or your friends- its who God sees you as and that is perfect! Gifts is all the amazing gifts and talents he's given us, both spiritual and physical. Finally, networking is how all spheres of society connect and have God in them. Business, Science and Technology, health care, education, government, the church/religion, and family. So many people think that church and family are the only places God can be but its so not true! God calls people to all spheres of society and its up to us to shine his light in those places- as hard as it may be.
Now all of this is grand but its the application of all of this where it gets tricky. We as humans really need to listen to God and what his plans are in our lives. We can do whatever we choose to do- but our lives turn out best if we do what he wants us to do. He will give you complete happiness and will make all your dreams come true and more- no matter how weird or hard the choice may seem. I like to compare life to ziplinning now. It's scary the first time but once you just jump it is SO worth it.
