Question of the Summer: "...so what is your major?"

Actually, it has been the question of the year. When I graduated from highschool, my plan was to "go to UT and major in Agricultural Education, marry a farmer, and live happily ever after." I used this in my senior video that was played during graduation, and I was serious! When I found out I would be attending Pellissippi instead of UT, I dropped the idea of agriculture about the same time my farmer boyfriend and I stopped dating. He is actually engaged to someone else now, but at the time of graduation this was my plan and thought it made a cute concluding line for my video. Ha!

Anyway, since then I have considered a math major(who am I kidding?), English, a culinary arts program, thought about a chemistry major for all of two days, and am now exploring Journalism. Pellissippi offers two journalism classes, and I am registered to take the first one this fall. I have always enjoyed writing despite my limited experience. I will be taking about 19 hours of general classes this fall to get back on schedule for my sophomore year.

Now, if I really felt that God was leading me to major in Journalism and I had some money, I would go to a private school in VA where I hear they have a wonderful program that emphasizes a Biblical worldview. After being in a secular school and writing various papers for English and Sociology class, I was saddened at the professors perspective--though I shouldn't have been surprised. So, I think this next year will be an exploration time for me as I seek the Lord's will for my major. I am also aware that as the Lord directs He will provide, so I need to pray for the faith to believe in Him. Lord, give me the grace to do this! I forget so easily who He is and what He has done...if He crushed His own Son to provide the most important thing for me, deliverance from His wrath, will He not also provide something as minor as the funds for an education?

Well, this kid is finally tired...the coffee from Panera has done its job in that it kept me awake (and jittery) all day. Reminded me of how I feel during the end of the school year. Night!
