• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

Please HELP!

I need advice as to what I should do! :confused:

Ok, I'm at College studying to be a teacher. I have completed one full year of study which is 8 subjects.

Suddenly, my college has changed parts of the degree I am studying. This now means that 5 of the 8 subjects I have studied hard in are no longer recognised. It is as if I haven't even studied them, when I have! I have worked really hard and the college won't recognise it!

So I am fighting my case... talking to course convenors, lecturers, administration, even newspaper journalists are calling me interested in whats happening! I am fighting my case, trying to get what I have studied recognised - because otherwise all the thousands of dollars I spent studying the course seems a waste.

I feel that it is so unfair - but the worst part is that I have to pay huge amounts of money to study each subject and now all that money is down the drain, because the college will no longer recognise all of the subjects I've studied.

Recently, I have been getting really really clucky (wanting to have kids) and God has changed my heart in a powerful way regarding having children. (I was not that long ago wanting to adopt the kids out if we had an unplanned pregnancy, whereas now I want to have kids right now!!)

A few months ago, I was speaking to hubby... I was tossing up the idea of whether or not to leave uni for good. I would like to be a teacher, however uni just doesn't seem my cup of tea. I HATE study! HATE it! I ended up deciding I would stay just so I can teach and so I have a degree behind me.

Because I have been getting REALLY clucky recently, hubby and I have been praying about this.. asking God for direction as to when he wants us to have kids.

Is this sudden college chaos possible a "sign" that I am meant to leave uni (whether or not I have kids now)??? What do you think??? What should I do??
Part of me secretly wishes God would say "leave uni" coz then I have a good excuse to leave! :p

I need lots of advice and help!!

THANK YOU,

very confused tsuriyel

I think you shall wait and see what happen becuase you fight.Sometimes when you fight it`s take long time to get a answer.Try to pray and see what God want.I have seen sometimes that the answer I get from God I haven`t waited for that answer.Try to meditate how much you want to be a teacher and want a child.I mean if that is only a feeling you have to get a child now.Try to see what you can do of the courses you have take too.If you can get a proffession of them maybe God want you get that and then you haven`t throught out all the money.I hope you understand what I mean

i pray that you make the right choice considering your college course and god shows you the way to go, with respect to the actual course changing you should be awarded some form of compensation as it is wrong of them to change the curriculum of the course that you originally signed up for

Hi Tsuriyel,
I am a teacher but my professional qualification is of an agriculturist....i soent 2 + 3 years at university, i was the topper of my class but little did i knopw that the Lord wanted me to be a teacher. Circumstances forced me to change my profession and i feel this is the Lords doing.... I no longer look back at my time at univ as a waste cos i am able to counsel my students about univ life, hostel life and i am what i am cos of all my experince at univ and that sets me apart from the rest.
Tsuriyel I believe and have experienced that the Lord does not let anything happen in our life that is not for our good...its only later that we realise it.
Spend a lot of time in oprayer and ask for His constant guidance all you know you may have fallen pregnant afterall and the Lord knows that!!!(my guess!!! ;))
Don't lose heart ....we are praying for u and be sure that what God has planned for ylou is the best!!!!!

Hello Tsuriyel; :wave: I pray the Lord brings you resolution to your feelings of confusion.
As to advice; for what it is worth I do have some thing to add concerning the class credits, while I agree it seems unfair and you should endeavor to get credit for them, I would advise you to release the expectations of any secular establishment to have much quality of fairness. As long as you hold to the expectation of being treated fairly by the world you will continue to be hurt and discouraged, for this world is of it’s father, Satan. Count on God to make all things, even the blows of life from this world in which we live, to bring all things together for good so long as we trust in Him and His ways.
In short expect nothing good from earthly man expect all good from God.
As to the continuation of your studies; have you considered the possibility of this not being God wanting you to stop your studies but instead leading you to change them? Is there some topic you sense a drawing to study and even maybe a gift towards understanding? Our Lord works in amazing ways and often His biggest hindrance is our own intelligence. I pray for you that you find the road to fulfillment and I know God will supply you with this in His time.
I apologize if I sound course, I am not real good at diplomacy. Please know all I say be it here or any other post in which you may read my words, I speak from love to all my brothers and sisters in Christ.
As always my love to all and May God Bless. :prayer:
