Are you prepared?

This past week I attended the first ever Spring Break Seek Week at camp Buckner. It was intense, emotional, amazing, life changing and left me in awe. It was a great experience where God really spoke to me. 

The first day there we got into groups called D- Teams, where it was two rec team members, and various sponsors and kids from other churches. This was the group that we spent most of the time with. We did games with them as well as D-Team time where we reflected on what we learned and how God spoke to us throughout the day. 

There was one ques ion asked by a leader that has stuck with me all week long. It was not until the last day of camp that I could truthfully answer. The question is as follows. 

If God called you right now to go do His will. Would you be prepared?

This question seems simple but you really have to think about it. If God said, "Hey drop your whole life, family, friends, boyfriend, schooling, everything and go spread my word in a 3rd world country;" Could you? Could you risk your whole life and change everything you have planned to follow Gods plan? 

Now we know that in the book of Jeremiah it states that God has a plan for our life. This plan is not always the one we planned. Just a year ago I had no plans to attend a christian university, to major in a biblical major, or to strive to be a youth pastor. My plan was to attend Sam Houston State University and get my degree in psychology. Plans Change, God changes them. Now God has put it on my heart to be His disciple. 

So I ask again are you prepared? Think hard and pray about this one. Like I said it wasn't until the last day of camp that I answered. 

During worship time on Wednesday, God spoke to me through a song and He said, "Come, Heaven, Follow me." I said "Here I am, God, Take me." I mean that. I'm prepared to lose everything and follow him. Its one thing to say that I am prepared and its another when the time really comes. I would like to think that I am in a place where I full heartily trust in God and follow Him. Now this is not to say that I wont mess up, or that the road will be easy. But I know that God is with me always. He never leaves me. 

So......
         If God called you right now to do His will. Would you be prepared??
