Hi:) I'm cat ( or KitCat on here at least). I am 20 years old and I'm from Atlanta Georgia. I need prayer about what God wants me to do with my life. I was pursuing nursing but I realized that I absolutely hate all of details and it wasn't for me.
Just to to give you a little babkground I grew up in a Christian home. I was raised Methodist. My family and I were missionaries overseas for a while. I heard Gods voice in my head since I was 11 and my parents started doing devotional with my family and I. I feel in love with the Holy Spirit. I was under and (still might be) a bunch of red dragons. About 7 months ago I found fotm1 and was shocked at how legit they are how right on everything Uncle Doug said was. Jesus delivered me of an addition I had mutilple times while I was lukewarm and stagnant. I was under the 'my sin doesn't count cause Jesus loves me so I can do whatever I want' red dragon. ive felt a call to ministry at a young age but I don't exactly know what that means.
I would like like prayer for God to show me what His will is for my life and for me to walk into obedience to him. I would like prayer for God to break me however hard He has to so that I will no rely on my own understanding but His. And also that I will get more connected to church that I go to/ Christian community in my area.

So, in the other thread we were talking about being refined and being a broken vessel and all that. Part of that is doing what God wants even if you don't like it. So consider the idea that maybe nursing is the thing God wants you to be doing. In that case, praying for Him to change you so that you are able to do it would be the right path.
To be clear, I have no idea whether that's what the Lord wants for you and it certainly isn't my call. But I wanted to throw the idea out there.
Ultimately, whatever you end up doing needs to be something you're hearing really clearly about. So I'll be praying for you to hear really well all the time and for the ability to obey. It seems like you are well on your way...

Yes I am considering a lot of things right now. I don't think nursing is my call because I tend to be more creative and better at writing but I will still pray about it hard incase it is what the Lord wants me to do. Thank You for your prayers. I really agree that when God starts to refine us it won't look anything like what we expect. I thought I would go to a four year school and get everything done by the time I was 22 but it doesn't look like that will happen and that ok. The Lord has made me cleaning out my room while I listen to my bible. It is an interesting experience because it's like through the process of being obedient to Him by planning my room, God is also cleaning out my heart. So it's like there is a spiritual connection to this process. The Lord has been working on my with a lot of things like pride. It amazing how when we are not rooted in the bible and spending time with Him we can become so blind to our sin. Thank God for the gift of repentance and grace and being able to see how unclean wears in comparison to Him.

I was kind of the same way playing with sin and not realizing I was a Titus 1:16 Christian. Anyway, I'm praying you will see through all the lies and follow God's leading in your life.

Praying for you too, KitKat. Those are good prayers.
Rob here at the ministry grew up in Atlanta. I visited recently and boy did it seem spiritually dark. Is that how you feel there?
