The Moment I've been waiting for

To be quite honest, I haven't felt the Lord's presence in my life so much this month. I am not sure what it is, BUT I STILL TRUST IN HIS UNFAILING LOVE.
BUT, tonight something amazing happened.
You ask me, "What happened Lindsay?"
Well, I'll tell ya...
So, I was watching the show Friends tonight at my friend's dorm (ironic right?), and we were having such a great time, BUT all of a sudden my mood changed. I just felt to stressed with my life! I knew I needed some time to pray to my Heavenly Father. So, I got in my car and headed back to my dorm.
I was tempted at first to jam out to some music, but NO. I knew it was time for me to talk with my Daddy.
I told him that I am going to stick to studying Nursing unless He tells me otherwise. This was a BIG DEAL. I am worried out the waaazzzooo about choosing a career for my life. It's just one of those things where you don't want to pick something and then you hate it and have to start ALL over again.
Anyway, I told Him exactly how I felt, and that I'm SO nervous about my GPA, grades, and keeping up with my studies.
I ended my short prayer time when I arrived back at my room.
Then I decided to check Facebook, Twitter, and Pinterest like every other girl in the world when they get back to their room. HAHA!
BUT, after that I said to myself, "what are you doing?! Stop that nonsense!"
While I was talking to myself in my head, I realized that I still hadn't looked at my Africa pictures my mom gave me on a jump drive before I left for Janterm (wintermester class). I started looking through all of them on my computer and came across this one.
I literally started crying. I couldn't stop crying for a while. There were probably 400 pictures on this jump drive and randomly I chose to look at this one. The Lord really works in some mysterious and cool ways. This is a picture of me in Africa putting antiseptic on this precious little boy's cuts. We were in the slums that day and I bandaged many little kid's cuts and scrapes.
The Lord knew I needed to be reminded of this moment.
How cool is that right?!
It made me realize that whatever I do in life, it must be to...
Serve the Lord
Serve His people
and to Love His people.
To Go to the Ends of the Earth.
Spread His Love to all I meet.
This picture reminded me of My Call.
So, maybe I'm supposed to be a nurse, maybe a missionary, maybe a teacher, or something random, but I know whatever I do, It'll be for the Lord. To Him be the Glory.
I want to thank whoever took this picture of me. Thank You for the precious reminder.
Also, Thank you Lord for showing this to me tonight. YOU ARE SO GOOD. AND SO PRECIOUS TO ME. I LOVE YOU DADDY!!
