What are we so desperately striving for through our education? And what are we filling our minds with every single day?
I'm not sure if I really thought about this too much when I decided to go to CBC, I'm not sure that I really knew that God was calling me there.... I just liked the sound of it. More than anything else I just wanted to say that I went to Bible College, it had a sort of prestigious sound to it for some reason.
Despite that, I've since realized that I'm here for more than just society points, I've continued on this path because I can't picture myself anywhere else, and I am making a conscious decision to fill my mind with something greater every single day.
I could be spending less money working toward a degree that actually assures me a job at the end of my 4 years and 40 thousand dollars, but instead I'm working toward something so much greater than a good income.
Sometimes I can't actually believe that I'm doing this.
This week was mid-term week, everyone is stressed way past the healthy point, and of course, when we get to that retardedly stressful point we tend to drop everything except the thing that is stressing us out.
As a Christian that usually means that we drop our spiritual life, our relationship with God... the one thing that we need the most, is the one thing that we toss aside.
In one of my classes, Philosophy of Youth Ministry, there is no mid-term, and in class this week our prof decided to step away from the curriculum a little for the day and talk about our core values, or non negotiable ideas on living life for Christ.
Rather than having us stress out about a mid-term, he reminded us to focus in on God.
Why would I go to any other school? Why would I submerse myself in any other kind of education? Why would I fill my mind with anything else?
I love this place.
