Only He Knows   And That's Enough

     Only God knows my greatest ambition.   The Creator of my ever-changing heart is the only Being who could understand it well enough to answer that question. I don’t say this as a way of evading an open answer to the question “What is your ambition; your pursuit in life?”, but rather as an honest response to it. If required to, I could write a tidy summary of what I think I want out of life, but I don’t know if that would be completely candid on my part.  Right now, I can’t honestly give a definition of what I want the most in life because I’ve undergone so much transformation in the time since coming to JBU, not only mentally, but also spiritually and emotionally. Everything here from navigating the cafeteria to meeting people is a fresh experience, a learning curve. I absolutely love being here and allowing God to expand the horizons of my miniscule world.  As He continues to expand my knowledge of myself, I don’t know which desires of my heart will endure this season of testing and searching and which ones will fall away as I begin to discover what God has for my future. The one ambition that has not only remained steadfast but has also grown is my desire to pursue God afresh in every area of life. As of right now, I feel that He has instructed me to focus on thriving where I am planted. Therefore, following His direction by flourishing as a student in the JBU community is what I desire most; I believe that must be my ambition.
