How Will I Get Where I'm Going?

After a week like this I'm left wondering two things, where I'm going in this life and how I'm gonna get there.  I've always enjoyed writing and I do honestly believe God's called me to it and gifted me with it, but over the past month He's been asking me one intolerably impossible question to ignore.  Will you leave everything you've worked for and go somewhere else if I call you?

This isn't something I want to think about, I'm perfectly fine right now pursuing a career to write about God and spread His word through my words and stories.  I don't want to leave the first place I've found purpose in life to go somewhere completely foreign to me.  I'm tired of change and uncertainty.  Yet my life isn't about me.  I've tried that before and I ended up in a whirlpool of frustration, sinking beneath the waves of depression.  So why do I stay so fixed on myself when I know where that leads, because the familiar pulls on me with the strength that only my fallen humanity can.  This is my struggle, and many others' as well, keeping God as the primary focus of my life and His plan for my life as my sole objective.

So where is my life going?  I know it is going all for Jesus Christ.  How am I gonna get there?  I honestly don't know.

For I know the plans that I have for you,’ declares the Lord,
‘plans for welfare and not for calamity
to give you a future and a hope.
Jeremiah 29:11

I still don't know what's in store for me but I'm becoming more and more alright with that prospect and the thought that, no matter the how, God has my way planned out.
