God has really been getting on my case lately about really living life to the fullest. Living the abundent life He wants us to have.

I'm pretty sure that I know what God wants me to do with my life. However, they're a ton of obstacles in my way right now. Mainly I don't have the means to do what I feel I need to be doing. I get so frustrated that money issues gets in the way of stuff.

Alright, so here's my plan at the moment. I'm looking at a university in Florida at the moment that has a Recording Arts degree. Even though it's a bit far from my home it's the only school I have found with this type of program. I feel the program would be an excellent one for me. The school looks amazing and I know I would get a wonderful education there. I was ready to apply but there is a fee of 275$ which I don't have. It's 75$ for the application fee and 200$ (refundable) to "reserve your place". It has to be payed up front.

Second, if I get into the school I would have to pay for housing. Which means I would have to get a job while there for pay for rent and other things.

I think overall it would be a wonderful step to take but I need the money to get started with. I'm still unemployeed after searching for a job for over a year. I'm seriously at my wits end about where else to apply.

For now I'm asking you all if you don't mind to please pray that if God wills He'll provide me the means to move forward with this. I love ya'll so much! Thanks!

Crystal

It's testimonies like yours Crystal, that I hate how the Devil steals from us. It's not like you're not trying to make your life happen, but he owns the economy, and you have to suffer through it.

However, Crystal, this is one of those things you will have to spiritually fight for as well. I'm saying this to you as much as myself, because I am fraustrated that I can't find work in this economy either. So, I think we should both rebuke the devourer that is eating our finances away, and that we have jobs by the end of next month in Jesus name.

Do you want to agree with me on this Crystal? If any two agree on Earth, touching one thing, than it shall be done.

Can you please describe what you feel the abundant life is, outlined in what God wills for your life?

The reason I ask is because I made a similar statement a few days ago about how I feel I'm missing out.


Well, it all begins with this verse:

"I have come so that they may have life and have it abundantly" John 10:10

I know God doesn't want me to sit around and do nothing which is basically what I've doing for who knows how long now. I've struggled with "finding my purpose" for years now. Ever since I graduated High School back in 2002.

Like you I do feel like I'm missing out. I have felt this for years. I feel there's just gotta be more to life then I'm what I'm doing right now. I want to use my talents to make His name famous not my own. Not only that but I want to do something that's my passion and something I love to do. Mostly I just want to do what the Lord is calling me do.

I admire people that that just take huge leaps of faith and just goes after something. I just always thought to myself "that could never be me". I would start thinking negative thoughts like "I'm to shy", "I'm not pretty enough", "I'm not talented enough" or whatever. I still struggle with these thoughts but I know that if God wants me do something He'll provide me the means to do it. Strength, Courage, Wisdom and even the Talent! He wants us to rely on Him instead of ourselves so He can have all the glory and so that we know it wasn't our own doing but His!

God designed every one of us to have abundant lives and I want to have it! It doesn't mean that everything will be all perfect all the time but it means that He'll provide for us and be there for us whenever, wherever! He's got our back!
:bow:

What do you believe God has called you to do other than going to college? (if that's what you meant.)

I feel I'm called into the music ministry. :) I'm still debating the whole college thing but I would like to go back one day.
