Dear friends,
The past couple of weeks have been a time of perspective for me and have driven me in a new direction in my life. While at times it can be scary as I step out into the unknown not knowing what God has for me; today I believe God has been incredibly faithful and has revealed to me the next step that I am to take in my life journey. Let me explain.
About a month ago BIOLA held their annual Torrey Bible Conference where I met a woman by the name of Judith. I met Judith by what can only be understood now as God's providence, for out of thousands of seats it was the one next to me that she choose. As we sat we got to talking and found that we had a lot in common, and Judith invited to make an appointment with her sometime so we could sit down and chat as friends.
Last week I finally got around to making that appointment and today without expecting anything extraordinary I met with her in her office. As the meeting began Judith was very interested in my personal life so I shared with her my current situation which included a miserable home life, lots of stress at school and an overall feeling of BLEH! What Judith was most concerned about was what I shared regarding my home life, and so she asked if I had ever considered moving out, and I told her I could never afford to.
During these past few weeks one thought has been recurring to me, and only last night had I offered it up in prayer. It was this, “God when I look at myself I can see that who I am and what I am capable of would best be fulfilled in the military. What do you think?”
I believe that what God thought would soon be communicated to me with what Judith would suggest next, “Kurtis have you ever considered military service?” At that moment tears began to swell in my eyes and after sharing with her what I had prayed for only the night before we shared a moment of awe and she rushed over and embraced me as I professed that this must be God’s will for me.
Friends, I am most excited to share this with you and I hope that if this is indeed God’s will that I will make you all proud serving you and our country by enlisting in the armed forces. Right now I have sent an E-mail to the Marine officer enlister and hope to hear back from his soon with more information. Please pray that God’s will would be revealed in all of this. I will do my best to keep you all posted on what my future brings.
