How God Led Me to Law School
In about two weeks, I'll be moving away from home again and starting school. A big part of me is sad to be leaving, but a small part of me is thankful for this opportunity. I've waited a long time for this next step in my life and God is now saying , "Go."
Looking back on this summer, I feel that I've grown a lot and God has been preparing me this whole time. He first told me to wait, that I wasn't ready and it hurt to think that I wasn't ready yet because I had thought that this was what he called me to do. Now I see that He was only preparing my heart for this "journey" that I'm about to embark on. To others it may not seem like a big deal, but to me it's the beginning of my purpose and plan that God's set before me.
I think my all-time favorite worship song is "Obsession" by David Crowder Band. I started listening to them in high school and they've always been the one band that i feel God has spoken through to get to my heart. The song "Obsession" seems to speak to my soul... or it is my soul longing for God, maybe both.
I've talked before about how I'm about to start this new path and I know that it's probably starting to get repetitive, but I just can't get over the fact that God has been leading me this whole time and that He will continue to lead me until I reach His kingdom. Through all the doubts, struggles, and fears, I continuously recognize and acknowledge that God is God and loves me deeply.
It's hard for me to accept when people tell me they don't believe in God or a soul or heaven. I feel like the soul is where God speaks to us the most - and sometimes we are so blessed as to feel God's fingerprints on our souls. The center of human emotions comes from deep within the soul and to think of a world without God would mean that the soul is just chemicals in the brain firing neurons back and forth. I don't believe that any of that could be true because when I feel God's tugging at my heart, it really is the tugging of my heart and soul.
I'm not sure if any of this makes sense, but God is speaking and He is real. He's telling you that He truly loves you and can't wait to see you seated next to Him at His throne.

To believe emotions are the bodies chemical to different stimuli would not necessitate a lack of belief in God, just a belief in science. One can believe in both. If one tries to imagine emotions in the way you paint them to be, they can come across some problems, one of the easiest to think of for me is a person who has a family history of depression and their brain tends to have lower levels of serotonin due to their genetics. So is that person's soul malfunctioning to an extent or is it his brain? Should he take medicine to counteract what is happening in his brain or in his soul? I'm going with the brain answer. I mean, that is not to say there could be other things involved, but the depression due to a lack of neurotransmitters (or low activity) in the brain would be the main reason for the depression and the one that can be treated.
Thank you for introducing the song...
It speaks to my soul too :)
He will continue to lead me until I reach His kingdom.
As a Christ-follower, do you not already see the kingdom of God? (John 3:3) Have you not already entered the kingdom of God? (John 3:5)
If so, then why are waiting to "reach' his kingdom?
I hated law school.
And the books are heavy.
@whataboutbahb@xanga - Well-said! I'm not too sure on your claim that science and religion aren't mutually exclusive, but for other reasons, not on this point.
@Sir_Bissel@xanga - Why did you hate law school? I'm considering going, so I'll take any information you're willing to give up to me.
@la_faerie_joyeuse@xanga - I think it's because I took too many classes at once (even after I dropped a class), I ended up getting burnt out. I never had any time to do anything, I was always briefing, reading, studying... I was fairly unpleasant because I needed to study all the time so I wasn't especially happy. Also the fact that, in law school, you're generally only graded for your final exam, so it was just so stressful because, really, you've got one shot to pass.

Haha, in my defense all I said was one can believe in both. I never stated if I thought that would be a logical (or non-contradicting) belief system or not. In all honesty though I still do not have a position on that issue, and am not sure if I could ever form a solid position on it.
I'm glad that you're trusting in Him to lead you through law schoool ! It's not going to be easy but you'll get through it!!
I also LOVE this version of Obsession. Just wanted to point out that it's originally by Delirious. =)
@Laserlawyer@xanga - the Kingdom of Heaven, as in once Christ returns for the second time.
G'luck in law school. I'm hating it, but it has been my own "thorn" in the flesh to spur me to change.
@le_meme_chose - Do you think that the kingdom won't begin advancing or functioning on Earth until Jesus returns?
@Sir_Bissel@xanga - Ah. Well, I like work if I find it interesting, and I don't mind exams, even if they're a huge part of the grade.
Actually, I think I'd prefer that. I really, really hate busy work.
Thanks for sharing.
I'm not really a big fan of busy work, but I'd like -something- else to base my grade on-- you know, a couple other tests, or something. Torts and crimlaw were interesting. Properties and contracts, not so much...
Yea! I'm excited about God moving in your life. He once told me to wait, too. Although it was really hard, it also turned into the most rewarding experience. The best thing about being on God's timetable is that you can know that He will take care of you.
@Laserlawyer@xanga - i don't believe that we are currently seated at the right hand of God at this present time.
@le_meme_chose - But Jesus Christ certainly is seated at the right hand of the Majesty in Heaven, and he has been for quite some time. And where are we? In Christ.
