Global Perspective.


I went to the Invisble Children legacy tour presentation at UNCA and it reminded and challenged me to keep a global perspective. Here in America, there is so much pressure to have your life mapped out. Plan a comfortable lifestyle, get a degree, a salary, a 401k, and make sure you have insurance and a retirement plan. I have been worried about raising money, what God is calling me to vs. I need to pay of loans and listen to the worldly wisdom. The question is continually asked.. what are you going to do with your life? What occupation is going to define you? I constantly wonder what will I do when I graduate college and am I on the right track.. Should I change my major? What if this isn't where I should be? And other people, other kids, other students my age.. are wondering if they can live tomorrow. This isn't too make us feel guilty and like crap for being born here but to realize, only in America is this pressure really placed.. We serve a God of the Universe who is Supreme. Our Lord is sovereign and my occupation and all that stuff is hardly anything compared to eternity. Yes, He cares about those little details in our life but they do not define us or should consume us. I want to be free of all of this.
