Have you figured out yet what you're going to be "when you grow up"? I write those last words with the full knowledge that you are almost all grown up and have some very important choices to make.
Consider this: In the next five to fifteen years--depending on your current age--you will need to decide what profession to pursue, what college to attend (or not attend--depending on your career choice), and what person to marry if you decide to get married.
All of these big decisions involve a lot of smaller ones: like, should I go to a four-year college or should I start at a community college, aka two-year college? Or should I go to college at all?
If I do go to college, how am I going to pay for it? And do I want to spend half my life paying off my college loans? If I don't go to college, what should I do to earn a living?
Regarding marriage, you will face these questions: Should I get married or should I stay single? If I do get married, whom should I marry? How will I recognize my spouse? If I stay single, what does God want me to do with the life He has given me?
With so many possible paths to take, what's a teen to do?
Here is a suggestion: Ask the Holy Spirit what to do.
After Jesus returned to Heaven, He sent His Holy Spirit to lead us and guide us into all truth. This means that as you seek the Holy Spirit, He will give you wisdom and direction to make the right choices for your life.
Bottom line, there are only two things we need to do in life:
1) Hear the voice of the Holy Spirit; and
2) Obey His voice.
If you learn how to do these two things, you will never make a wrong decision in your life.
