What if I told you that God has a plan for you in less worldly successful places. I know this is shocking....but God doesn't look at our lives and say, "Well, you can't do X, because you don't have a piece of paper, aka. College Degree." Nopety, nopety, no! God doesn't measure what we are worth to the good of His kingdom based on what the world thinks. At the same time; to be following God you don't have to go to Africa to do humanitarian work. Unless God is calling you to do that, it isn't the ultimate "job" God has for you.
I'll be going to South Dakota, and this is in a really hard area. In the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation, which is the poorest reservation in the nation. It is actually just as bad for some Lakota, as it is in India. I am called to be with my Family in this ministry. The point I am trying to make there is that you don't have to be in Africa to be serving the Lord by serving others. You can do it in your home, your church, your community, your city, your sink...........Yeah, you know what I mean, I can see the guilt!!!! Ok, in all seriousness, besides my artistic way of going off topic, I guess the point is that God has a plan for you NOW! Just as much as He will in the future for you.
So please, pretty please. Ugly please. ANY PLEASE. PRAY to Him, and ask what you can do for Him tomorrow.
Ok, back to the beginning. I know almost everybody pressures, and tells us that if we don't get a college degree, we will DIE!!! I understand there are very, very important reasons to get certain ones. I mean, one of the only reasons I'd go to college would be for Theology. That is me. I just don't think our lives should be focused on college, or any worldly successful thing. I guess the bottom line is....do what God wants you to do! Funny how it all boils down to that. Weird.
