This is God opening doors and clearly He wants me to live in this big city. There were a few different instances during this time were I realized this is God speaking to me. I didn’t want to move to a big city! It sounded so intimidating at the time. As I began talking with recruiters and applying for jobs, I found that I was getting multiple interviews and offers from the Minneapolis area and nothing from my hometown. I didn’t desire to move to any big cities or be all on my own. My plan was to get a job and move back to my hometown to be close to my family. I finally figured it out when I went to a career fair my senior year of college. I remember being frustrated and thinking, what does that mean?! Can you actually hear God saying something to you? How do you know what he wants!? I felt like these people were crazy or maybe I was crazy. I kept hearing people say things like, “I listened to God” or “God called me to this”. It’s about mutual respect.ĭuring college and after college I was a part of small bible studies and organizations with fellow believers. I think it helps that I genuinely listen to their beliefs and ask questions. □ It’s nice when I can share my faith with others without them getting defensive or aggressive. I shared these thoughts this week with one of my non-Christian friends and she shouted, “ can I get an Amen!” I thought that was cute. It’s about accepting all and loving them for who they are. Later in life I decided it’s not about who is right or wrong. During that time I met many different types of people when many different beliefs. I left my small town with population of around 4k and continued to move to bigger and bigger cities throughout my twenties. When I went to college, I started to feel overwhelmed when I learned about many other beliefs. It seemed like a good thing at the time and it felt right. I decided I believed in God around age 15 with some influence from my parents.
