college guilt

[caellis21]

i dont know about everyone else, but some of you will be graduating college this may, except me. most of my friends will have their degree, except me. to make a long story short i started college but stopped out cuz of personal issues, and recently went back. but im actually dreading the month of may cuz i could have had my degree by then. ive asked God to take this guilt away from me but i cant stop thinking about it. my friends will be in the jobs they trained for, and me, ill still be drifting from job to job for another year. i got laid off months ago and have been rejected by 10 jobs. im not sure ill ever find a job again, ill be lucky to get a job cleaning toliets at this rate. anyway if anyone gives a care id like a word or two, or many of encouragement thanx

i cant say that i went through what you went through, since im just a freshmen in college. probably my words wont even seem they encouraging to you, but we should place our life in Gods hands, then only good can come to us.

They probably won't be in the jobs they trained for unless they are very fortunate. It's been a couple years for me, and I haven't landed one real job that uses the degree I received. In fact, I spent a year unemployed, so I know that frustration.

Its not as bad as what I am doing. See, I am in political science right now. I could have been done this next semester, and graduated early..Instead, I slacked off the last two semesters, skipped a lot of classes, and ended up failing 2 classes, and dropping another. First time any of that has happened to me. Even worse, I am not really going to be using my education for a future career, as I have decided not to go to law school after this and become rich and all that, but instead, I am going to be a missionary in the middle east, pratically wasting a chance to be successful and wealthy...But I couldn't be happier. I have found out that no matter what the circumstance, the more simple way in life, one revolving solely on God, is the best, most happy way. So who cares about cleaning toilets? Just be happy that you have the King of kings, on your side. Chin up, and trust in Him. He hasn't let any of his children down yet, so why would he start with you?
