A few months ago I really started thinking about school and college and such and I've found it very over whelming. Towards the begining of May, I desided that I really wanted to live out my life for Chirst, and not just by going to church every Sunday and being involled in church, but really dedicating my life to Chirst. Espically my life after High School, as I have no idea what I'm going to do besides the fact that I want to go to College. Whatever God wants me to do, I am sure he will tell me in His time, weather it be next week, or three years from now.
Recently, I believe God has talked to me though the music on the radio. There are alot of new songs dealing with dedication. "Aware" By Salvador is one of them and one of my favorites. Chorus:
Make me aware, make me see
Everything I am is not all about me
Take my world, turn it around
So that the obvious can finally be found
Make me aware, make me aware
Another song by Laura Story "Mighty to Save" really touched my heart:
So take me as You find me
All my fears and failures
Fill my life again
I give my life to follow
Everything I believe in
Now I surrender
Yes I surrender
Savior
He can move the mountains
My God is Mighty to save
He is Mighty to save
ForeverAuthor of salvation
He rose and conquered the grave
Jesus conquered the grave
Chris Tomlin "Jesus Messiah"
His body the bread
His blood the wine
Broken and poured out all for love
The whole earth trembled
And the veil was torn
Love so amazing
Love so amazing
Jesus Messiah
Name above all names
Blessed Redeemer
Emmanuel
The rescue for sinners
The ransom from Heaven
Jesus Messiah Lord of all
All I hope is in You
All I hope is in You
All the glory to You, God
The light of the world
"You Watch Over Me" by Aaron Shust:
You watch over me in the darkest valleys
You watch over me when the night seems long
You help me to see the way before me
You watch over me; You watch over me
Take this frozen heart; awaken me
Never once have You forsaken me
Even though I walk through this shadow of death
You will guide and defend me
You'll guard and protect me
Even though I walk through this shadow of death
You will lead me home
"Your Not Alone" by Meredith Andrews:
You're not alone
For I am here let me wipe away your every fear
My love I've never left your side
I have seen you through the darkest night
and I'm the one who's loved you all your life
All of your life

Hi! I just ended up here from A Maiden of the King's comment section. And I just want to say, because I wish somebody had said it to me, that I'd really question the status quo of going to college. If you are going to pay thousands and thousands of dollars, consider how it will be to try and pay it all back once out. Think how it will affect your ability to be a stay at home mother, even if right now you may think you don't want children. Learn how interest rates on loans work (I say this because I thought I would pay a lot less with an %8 interest rate than I really have to pay). Consider that when you get out of college, you'll probably end up in a job that doesn't pay well for quite some time. And if you want to stay home with children, you aren't apt to stay in the business world long enough to make much money from having a degree--once may not even be in it long enough to pay off the degree, or decide one can't afford to have children for some time. Back when I went to college, it seemed like everybody did. I always heard that if one wanted a decent job, it was necessary. And I also somewhere around this time thought I should, if at all possible, remain single, not seeing then that some things about me suggest I don't have a lifelong call to the gift of celibacy (mistakenly thought of as a "gift of singleness"). Then I got out of college and saw what I owed with interest, what I would be making, how much expenses add up (like a necessary car).... I really wish I'd tried to expand my mind more without college, that I'd invested my years in studying the Bible with the help of great theologians of the past like Spurgeon and Edwards, and that I could afford a people-oriented job while saving for a future family, rather than it looking like I'll get stuck in typing-oriented jobs just to spend year after year only paying off loans. I hope to not be in the business world ten years from now. Just keep in mind how short the time is a woman can have children, and that many women come to see they do want children that once didn't. Anyhow, college certainly has its good points. and maybe you're looking at something much different than me--a college education that's free, for example. Maybe I'm just "preachiing to the choir." i don't know! But I just want to urge you to look into these things if you haven't considered them because I wish somebody had caused me to do this, and that I'd chosen my future with more knowledge and wisdom....
Best of providence to you!

I really think that God is calling me to be a stay at home mom and I also think he is calling me to go to college so I can be able to confidently teach my children what they need to know by getting a degree in Elementary Education.
Money isn't a big problem and I'm sure to get many scholarships. Whatever the cost is, it shall be worth it to know that my children are to be tought by myself, a to-be-certified teacher. I have no idea what God has in store for me in my future, God is incharge. And if He wants me to be a stay-at-home doughter or go to college, then He shall!
