Roadtrip Because IDK What to Do with My Life

“Doing the Next Right Thing” – Road-Trip Reflections

Opening Moments

A sleepy “Oh, hi. Good morning” kicks off the day. Everyone scrambles out the door—hair wild, makeup bag in hand—bound for Tulsa’s new park, The Gathering Place. The goal: laugh hard, deepen friendship, and keep asking the looming “What am I supposed to do with my life?” question.

Testimonies

Melody

• Key turning points: “I was probably like 28 before I really had a good sense of who I am and what I want to do.” She describes breaking up with the timeline that says everything should be settled by 22.
• Spiritual insight: Life is “a discovery process for my whole life,” so she keeps asking, “OK, what works now?”
• On relationships: Urges singles not to wait—“Start living out your purpose… the right person will strengthen that in you.”

Colt

• Life context: Still figuring out vocation, not in school, no serious relationship.
• Emotion voiced: Feels pressure yet is learning to “be at peace with that, knowing it doesn’t matter how old I am or how long it took.”

Katie

• Setting: College student home on break, newly grafted into the friend circle.
• Impact: The group models curiosity and instant belonging—“She is one of us just because she’s here.”

Group Wisdom Moments

• “You don’t have to do something epic to do something important.”
• Big lesson from a recent sermon: “Treasure your single years.”
• Summary credo: Keep returning to “Who does God say that I am?”—let every other expectation melt away.

Holy-Spirit Highlights

• Freedom in “breaking up with expectations” and living step by step.
• The call to treasure singleness rather than rush through it.
• Community as God’s tool for clarifying purpose—new voices (Katie, Melody, Colt) broaden perspective.
• The simple obedience of “just the next right thing” outweighs pressure for a lifelong master plan.

Prayer Points & Next Steps

• Ask God to keep stripping false timelines and affirm true identity in Christ.
• Courage for each person to pursue purpose now, not after marriage or a dream job.
• Continued growth of this budding friend group—open hearts, contagious curiosity, and shared influence.
• Grace to celebrate small, faithful steps instead of chasing “epic” achievements.
