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 . |

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! |

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. |

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. |
