What do you love>?

Lately I have been putting so much thought into what I want to be--Who I want to be--what I want to accomplish. For me choosing a college major is like trying to take a drink from Niagara falls-its nearly impossible. I mean I can see a bunch of classes that I would love to take--but taking them would not lead me to any major--and furthermore I cannot think of a career that would fit me. So I am stumped.

I would love a simple letter in the mail from God saying: "Dear Elliot, your major should be __________ your career path should be __________ and I have many more cool things in store for you...but just start with this! Have a good week, love God!!" And this career would include lots of traveling, interacting with people, working towards a cause, helping people directly, being creative, savvy, and respectable!

I have been praying for this, but have yet to get it. SO I am praying some more, looking for a major that best includes all the classes I enjoy and leaves much room for a variety of careers. If any of YOU have a clue as to what I should do for my career please comment below!

The first part of you list sounds like a missionary! The second part sounds like a classy missionary :). Really though, the missionary life is what it sounds like your list is calling you to. But you still do figure out what your missionary you is doing. Think of the best times in your life..(4 or 5) and ask...what did i love about this... For some of us it takes time to figure this out...maybe just accept it will take a while...and flow with it...listen, be, relax.??

ONLY THE HOLY SPIRIT KNOWS THE TIMETABLE FOR ELLIOT'S SOUL. WE DON'T, WE MUST ALLOW HIM TO DO HIS WORK. HE IS THE ONE WHO MUST BRING EACH OF US TO DECISION. AND THE BASIS OF ALL DECISION IS TO DECIDE TO FALLOW CHRIST. DECISION IS MEANING FUL ONLY IN THAT SETTING. WHEN WE HAVE CHOSEN TO FALLOW CHRIST AND HAVE LEARNED TO KNOW HIS VOICE, THEN HE CAN LEAD US TO WHATEVER ELSE HE DESIRES FOR US IN TERMS OF DECISIONS. THE HOLY SPIRIT LEADS EACH ONE INDIVIDUALLY IN DECIDING TO FALLOW CHRIST AND IN CONTINUING TO FALLOW HIM DAY BY DAY. LOVE POPPIE
