One Step at a Time

I watched an interview with our new Miss America the day after she was crowned, and found deep encouragement in her words. Mallory Hytes Hagan was Miss New York 2012 before she won MA. She moved to New York 5 years ago from Alabama with nothing but $1000 in her bank account. She was actually a waitress while she was competing for Miss New York. She had some good advice about college that has encouraged me that I'm on the right path in regards to my higher education.
"It’s okay for you to take time to figure out what your passion’s going to be. And education is extremely important but let’s make sure that you’re going to school for what you want to do and that you have a passion for what you are doing”

Perfectly said, Mallory. If I could give advice to any high schoolers who are unsure about what path after high school, it would be this: take it one step at a time.
I don't know what my major will end up being, or when I will achieve it. There is such pressure to jump right into a major university setting when a lot of us aren't ready and are unsure of why we are there. I feel such peace knowing that I'm not on a time crunch to make a rash decision.
With my ultimate purpose in life to fulfill Gods plan for my life, I found that I had to let go of my obsession with finding MY perfect college, and meditate on what Gods perfect plan says of my future.

I cry out to God Most High,

to God who fulfills his purpose for me. (Psalm 57:2 ESV)
