CJeff, when I was a teenager I was continously told that 'God has a
wonderful plan for you'. I, like you, could'nt figure out what that plan
is...does God want me to be another Moses or Noah, or like any of the
Great men of the Bible? A wise man later told me that Gods plan for me
might just be to - go about doing good, helping others in anyway that I
can, follow Jesus as close as I can, keep studying the Bible and praying
earnestly.

Well, I'm an old man now...God didn't call me to be a great evangelist
or to build an ark or to be a prophet. If so, then I've missed my
calling. I've been happiest when helping others, there are so many who
are hurting and need help.

Jesus said, "I am the Light of the world: he that followeth me shall not
walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life". St. John 8:12

Jeff, I pray that your path will be illuminated with that Light.

its been my experiance that if i ask god ill get an answer to my
questions maybe not the one i want to hear but he will answer. remember
none of us are perfect so if you keep waiting to be perfect to be a
christian youll never get there . im no saint by a long ways but do
trust the lord in all things it works out better that way. an takes a
heck of a load off of you do what you can an leave the rest for god if
you have trouble with it pray about it he will help you .

its not that i want to be prefect but maybe i got to used to being in a
school environment where im working towards something and now im out in
the world and i dont know what to do

Classy, you don't learn about life by going to school, but you do have a
piece of paper that says you have a brain. Don't stop your life too
long to think. Finding what you want in life comes from living. Find a
livelihood first, see how the middleclass lives, read, network,
communicate and you will find what you seek.

Don't be too anxious, it's ALL life, every day of it, and you can't get
anywhere if you don't move forward. Now the real learning begins!

im trying but my brain works more goal orientated..

Goal Oriented is great!!!

Create your own projects; your own goals!!!

And attack them like there is no tomorrow!

Imagine that you are your own teacher! ... and you've just given
yourself (the teacher in you to the student in you) a major life
project!!!

Wonderful thought Voil. But I think Class has been programmed by the
nature of the school agenda, and all that he has received in life not
directly related to his own volition.

Little goals Jeff. What material things do you NEED in life. Find a
way to support that.

Next: Make short range goals, want a new computer, want that dream
vacation, save for it make it happen. Want a better job, take time,
keep the one that maintains your current goals while looking for what
you want. Except for possibly an IRA or 401K, and I suggest at your
age to contribute very small amounts, never plan goals too far reaching.
We do not have enough control in our lives for such things, and they
prove to be detrimental to emotional and mental health when dashed. You
can not have it all, at least not right away. But when you have enough
and when you are happy, take the time to enjoy it, instead of reaching
for more, instead of creating new goals. If there is time, you will
know when to start the process again.

I have come to the realization that it's not necessary to discover what
plan God has for our lives. Whatever we are, whatever we do, whatever
past, present or future we live, is what God has planned for us.

Oftentimes a person's life doesn't seem to have much of any
"significance" until after they are long gone.

But I do think we all influence life and have a specific reason for
being here.

"...Little Steps!!!"


Interesting Redykeulous!

From all my observations with religions and science combined I will have
to say that it's all man made to control minds to make money as is has
been since day one. Religious organizations can't exist unless it
creates a fear in people to be a part of the scam so the money can keep
these congregations going. Religion has caused nothing but havoc and war
from the day it began. There is a lot of lies and hypocrisy going on in
them all. Man has to control another's mind so it can get what it wants
and it all comes down to Money.

Interesting!!!

Wouldn't my getting my 'tooth' into that one.


But that's a whole other battle 'WHATABOUTUS',

yea i dont see the relationship between my topic and your statement
