Walking In The Dark

You know as teenagers we don't, most of us hate that dreadful question "What are you going to do after school?" or "what do you want to do for a living?" or something along those lines. It's we just don't really know what we want to do. There are so many things to consider. What school do I want to go to? How much money do I want to make? Where do I want to live? How stable is the job? Who and when am I getting married? How many kids do I plan on having? Should I go with the red dress or the black one? These questions are crucial in answering the first. (Except maybe the last one, but it's still a difficult decision.)

Now wouldn't you know, the most important question that influences it is: What does God have for me? and How will I know? It's kind of hard to tell. He has a plan we just have to be patient and follow His will according to His will and we will find it.

Please don't overlook this question. If you do you may end up miserble or walking around a desert for forty hears are something like that. My suggestion is to start off with the right foot. How you do that depends on who you are? I might start off with a year at Bible college to get things in a strong allignment so that college doesn't rattle my foundations, because it will do that.

Can I give you some advice? (And I know this might be hypocritical but I'm not the only one advocating for it) Don't be afraid. God doesn't always lead us down the happy trails, he takes into the dark sometimes into scarey places. We need to be faithful, and He will lead us out of that darkness stronger than before. You want to know the best part though. It WON'T be uneventful. Our lives are going to be an adventure, just like the ones you see on cartoons and in video games. Something unexpected is going to come our way and we are going to call on God and we together will get through things. Exciting isn't it? Our entire lives are going to be this huge adventure to finish some master plan that He has in store for us. I can't wait!!
