at a recent joing campus agape ministry meeting, a group of alumni's were given the oppurtunity to share a little about how god has worked in their lives... as well as give some advice for those now in college...

for all of you, i have labored long and hard to pick out the best = )
so please take the time to read some of these gems of wisdom

"Gods plans for you are much better then the ones you try to accomplish for yourself"

"Dont do anything halfway. It is miserable spending your life in the middle trying to decide whether or not you're going to give your all to Christ. The only way to truly be satisfied is to give all you got for the kingdom. No ifs, ands, or buts about it."

"Make decisions (no matter big or small) based on God, i.e. not depending on human wisdom"

"Trust in God for the present and the future. He will provide what you need at the right time. Seek first His Kingdom and His righteousness and all these things will be added unto you."

"Live your life for the things that are eternal. Dont wast time pursuing things of the world, thinking that that will make you happy. God is the only one that satisfies."

"There's nothing else worth living for! Close your ears to what society and culture have to say about what is really important; running after career, prestige, wealth, or relationships will lead to a reward that is instnaly gratifying, but will not last. What you do for Christ will last for eternity. Also, a general rule of thumb: when you're ready to start thinking about marriage and the spiritual, emotional, and financial responsibilities this will entail, then you're ready to start thinking about dating. Otherwise, being involved in dating relationships when you arent ready can be a hindrance to your growth in Christ. As you seek the Lord and trust Him with your future careerm finances and spouse, He will provide all that you need."

praise god! he is compassionate and it is evident that by choosing to live your life continualy under his guidance, that you will have a fufilling and awesome life! Right now more then ever, I am filled with so much hope and wonderment towards my future. I am willing to see how God will use me to further his kingdom, and to spread his love! For those of you reading this that know me personally, please keep me accountable, and join me in leading this new life style!
