Peter Pan Syndrome

Hey there guys and girls! This blog is for all of you High School Grads and Seniors as well as College Students. I have seen so many posts about people wondering what they are going to do with their lives, or that they want to go to college but they have no idea what to study.

Well the truth in the matter is the only way to truly live a fulfilling life and receive the answers you need is by asking God what he wants you to do with your life. Now I am not saying you will not enjoy what he has planned; most people think he will just say that you need to be a pastor.God has a purpose for everyone a purpose that fits the skills and talents he has given you.


Jeremiah 29:11
For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.


If you love to sing and that is your gift then God might call you to praise him. Or you might be called to be a teacher or even a football coach. The whole point is to serve him, if you are a coach then coach your team to a life of serving God, praising Him when you win and lose your games.

For those of you who are trying to figure out what to study in college, stop thinking and just ask God. He will tell you what you need to know, if you are really called to be a pastor or a teacher then study biblical studies or whatever field you are called to teach in.

We are not going to each have the same exact career or life, but we are all called to serve God in amazing ways.

1 Corinthians 12:12
The body is a unit, though it is made up of many parts; and though all it's parts are many, they form one body. So it is with Christ

Now there are a few of you who just want to have some fun, you feel like "Hey! I am still young, I still have some time to chill." Let me tell you; No one has time to be lazy like that, once you have finished High School it is time to grow up and figure out your purpose in life. You will have moments of rest and relaxing but you should not live for those moments.

The end is near and you have to serve God while you can, no one knows the time when he is coming back so until then, each day of life is a gift he has given you. The least we can do is figure out what we are supposed to do to serve him.

I don't mean to be harsh it is just that you have had plenty of time to be a kid, when you graduate that is moving on to adulthood.

I learned this at the early age of 14, so I can assure you I am not talking out my butt.

Matthew 24:36
No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, or the son, only the Father.

So having said all this, get busy praying and fasting if that is what you need to do to hear from Him clearly.
