Does anyone out feel the same way I do about college. Let me take you back.
Newly minted marriage, my husband and I, decided before we were married to both attend a Christian college. We had great GPAs and are very active in our church. We had a scholarship and marriage housing. Sounds great? Wrong! We moved in the summer b/4 classes started, and had everything go wrong. From a faulty washer and dryer, leaking 3 times all over the floor, to problems with the mantience staff not helping, to strict guidelines on what we could not do, to being told we could afford it to having to pay 3,000 a piece for a year! That was 6 grand! We couldn't afford it and that was the last straw, after much tears, and prayer we moved back home, he is continuing his Bachelors online, I tried from the same place but it didn't work out for me (lots of struggle).
So here I am, 22, and trying to pass College Algebra for the 3rd time to get my A.A that I started @ 18! At that time I thought I'd go for my bachelors, Lord knows I've tried since then! However I cannot find anything I'm interested in except I love to write things for the Lord. I would love to be the next Max Lucado or Joyce Meyer, not for the money or fame, but for the way God uses these people and their extraordinary gift. I believe in my heart that I can, however I wonder if college is neccessary. I know in order to write, (can't you tell I love it), you do not need a degree, but I wonder if it would help. I would preferably go back online because of 1) availability, my husband and I are looking at moving in the summer to another state and I do not want to wait for residency to kick in and cannot afford to pay out of state. 2) cost-plain and simple.
I feel very called to do something for God in my life and my devotionals are good, however I think that Lord wants me to go further, what that means I have no idea, but I pray with time and humbleness I can find out!
What do you all think? By the way, I'm unemployed as well, sadly. I have had some good jobs but can't sit behind a desk all day (ironically I can write though, but I devoted that soley to God Almighty). I need something to bring home a paycheck!
Is anyone in the same boat? Feeling weird about college/ what to do with their life and struggling to find a job? Have you been there? If so, let me know what helped you!
Thank you so much. I wanted some Christian people to answer it, because you truly know what it means to be a Child of God.
Blessings!!
