Hey y'all! In this episode, I am joined again by the radiant and kool kat Kaitlyn Courtemanche, a sophomore at Tocoa Falls College pursuing ministry leadership and theology! Kaitlyn is featured in "S1E7 Roots & Solitude: Covid Reflection", so go listen to that one! We discuss how God is always good, but is also confusing... He gives and takes away in His will, and sometimes that counters what we were expecting. God throws a lot of our plans out the window (a lot of things we feel secure in/believe to be promises), and we must learn to grapple with all of that and trust despite the confusion. We also discuss the majesty of God's plan - how much higher His ways are than ours... and how we need to trust even when things don't make sense. He is pruning us. He tests us by making this make "not sense". As college students and young adults, a major anxiety is about the future and what His plans are for us: what does God want us to do? What will the future look like? My spouse? My job? Ministry? etc... Kaitlyn and I both wrestle with those feelings of doubt and insecurity. Do we need to go around the entire globe to be missionaries OR can we work in leadership in one town? Which is more pleasing to Him? Our purpose???  These are the questions and thoughts we discuss and bounce amongst ourselves in this podcast... all while hiking, enjoying nature, and having lots of fun :) God is so good even when things feel confusing <3 As always, speak love and live it!
