Decisions, decisions...

After returning from my missions trip to Cuba, I've had a lot of time to think about what I want to do in life. Before I became a Christian last year, it had been my dream to work at a high fashion institute (ie. Vogue) as a journalist. After accepting Christ, I was determined to continue with pursuing journalism as a career, and I was dead set on going to a University which offered the best journalism program in the province.

This week, however, I felt God's nudge to look up a Christian college that I had heard of. As I looked at their program for people who were interested in missions, I knew that this was part of God's plan for me. Yes, it was more expensive than the non-Christian university, but only by a 1000 dollars. Yes, my parents would disapprove of my choice, but I couldn't let that hinder my decision.

The decision to go to either one or the other was based on where I would glorify God more. Would God be more glorified if I went to a secular college and pursued a career that would only benefit myself, or would He be more glorified if I went to a Christian college where I would learn about Him and eventually go out into the mission field to advance His kingdom? The answer was clear, and although my mom objected and the family finances are not in a good place, I trust that God will bring about whatever He has planned for me.
