The View-Master and The Master's-View

      A family friend asked me, "What are you going to do with your major?" I replied, "I'm still trying to figure it out," and he very seriously responded, "You have to figure out what will put money in the bank, that's whats most important." I understood there were good intentions behind the statement, I was silent and frustrated.
      I sat frustrated across the table from a friend as I recounted the story. I explained how I understood silence to be the same as agreement. I explained how I wanted to lovingly and gracefully express myself in conversations concerning my major and the future. I would love to verbalize the following. I am a follower of Jesus Christ and I know He has lead me to study Communications, but I have no idea what I'm going to do after I graduate. One of my greatest desires is to live a life of obedience unto Jesus and I am confident that as I seek Him He will reveal the next step in His perfect timing.
      The old toy in the picture captivated my attention for hours on end as a little girl, its called a View-Master. As a kid I would put a paper film into the View-Master to see a cool little picture that I could not see until I put it in. The View-Master holds the paper film in place and can show all the pictures on the paper film rotation, but it will only show one picture at a time.
      Jesus is my View-Master. I believe He is the one who holds the paper film of my life. I want to look to Him and through His eyes. I want to look to Him. I want to know, see, and experience the Master. And I want to view His heart and His plan for my life. I desire to see the next slide of my life just like the next girl. As I look through the View-Master I will View-The-Master and get the Master's-View of my life. I will view the next paper film slide of my life in His timing.
