God's Plans 4 You "For I know well the plans I have down the road for you, says the Lord, plans to take care of you, not to abandon you, and plans to give you a future full of hope." Jer. 29:11 Do you ever ask yourself: Where am I going? Where is God leading me? What exactly are God's plans for my future? How will I know what do do for the rest of my life? To discover God's plan, we must spend time in discernment. In other words, we need to take some quiet time, reflect on our gifts and our passions, see where we are needed in this world, and pray over it. Discernment can help us find where God is calling us.
____________________________________________ Here are a few discernment opportunities in your area for young adults like you.

Spiritual Direction Opportunities walking with another on our journey Spiritual Direction (also known as "Spiritual Companioning") is a practice where one person seeks out another to share his or her lived experience, and in the process, finds direction for their life. Trained spiritual directors and companions support you in talking about your life, prayer, and relationship with God; listening to your heart's desires and the voice of God in your life experiences; finding answers within to the deep questions you may ask; and discerning direction for your life that is in harmony with God's dream for you. (Spiritual Direction is not counseling, rather a process to integrate your relationship with God into your daily life and your plans for the future) If you would like more information on finding a Spiritual Director: If you are looking for a spiritual director who works with young adults that are in their 20s and 30s, contact Charis Young Adult Ministries in Chicago at (773) 508-3237 or spiritualdirection@charisministries.org. If you are looking for a spiritual director in the DuPage County area, contact Mayslake Ministries at (630) 323-1620 to set up an introductory meeting. __________________________________________________
