Changing desires

  Today I wanted to reflect on how my desires have changed in the last two years. It is crazy to think about how far I have come in such a small amount of time. I remember moving in for the first time as a freshman. I cried because I hated college on the first day, but the next day I loved it! It is strange just how quickly our feelings can change.
  Recently I have been struggling with what I wanted to study in school, but now I have clarity on what I want to do. Back when I was a freshman one of the reasons that I wanted to major in biology was because I wanted to become wealthy. I was going to be some sort of doctor and it did not matter what kind. Part of that reasoning was also to help people, but more towards the monetary rewards. I felt like I would not be happy unless I was successful. That is after all what the world teaches us. Luckily during the summer after freshman year, my desires changed. I spent the whole summer with college students that gave up their summer to know Christ more. I studied the world, I evangelized, I prayed, and slowly my desires began to change. No longer did I care about how much money I made, or how I looked, or what people thought of me. I only care about bringing God glory and getting to know Him deeper. Even the tiniest desires of my heart have changed and it was all because of the Holy Spirit.
