Find Love Together – Logan Briana

I believe I am where I’m supposed to be. I believe that God’s timing is perfect. Yes, there are many times that I want to move far far away from Marion, Indiana, but I do wholeheartedly believe it is where I am supposed to be.

I am starting to be known for my constant changing of my major. I would be lying if I said I wasn’t tempted to switch again, but to be honest I think I will always have that temptation. I’m a dabbler and have enjoyed each major I’ve had. I am currently double majoring in Psychology and Addictions Counseling. Though psych classes are hard and terrible, I am still going to push through with this major. What makes it different than the other majors? The people. I want to help and touch people’s lives. No matter where or what I do, I will be able to do that, but it’s the type of people that I really have a passion to help. I want to help those with addictions. I also want to raise awareness of addiction. With being raised by people who were in a constant battle with their addictions, I got to see sides of them that not everyone gets to see of an addict.

I talk about moving to Indianapolis, or even out of state where no one knows who I am. I might end up doing that. I just know that I also believe God wants me to stay in Marion. I have had several opportunities to leave Marion, yet I happened to stay. I believe it was all God. There is a class room in the building that all of my major classes are in. This class room is by far the easiest room to daydream in as it has floor to ceiling windows covering the entirety of one wall. This semester I have the privilege of taking one of my classes in there. I also got the privilege of being in the same classroom my freshman year. It is amazing the difference of thoughts that go through my head now, compared to four years ago. Freshman me hated Marion, and had zero love for the city and could not wait to leave. Today, I just look at the beautiful view those windows provide and think about how much I truly love Marion. Marion is also full of people who struggle with addiction and need someone who is interested in helping them.

I believe I am one of those people.

I think God’s kept me in Marion because I am supposed to touch the people of this amazing town in some way. Though I have the habit of wishing I could move and be done with Marion, I don’t think I will be leaving anytime soon. Deep down, I think I am okay with that. There are so many amazing people I have had the honor of meeting because of Marion. Without some of them, I wouldn’t be who I am today.

I challenge you to join me and reach out to the people in your community and truly get to know them.
