I recently posted about how we need to let go of our calendar lives and wait on God’s timing to know what the future holds. However, there are some things you can do while you’re waiting for God to show you what’s next. Here’s a simple list of things a young adult can do to figure out what’s next:
1. If college is starting, and you still don’t have a major in mind, pick something broad and practical. I would choose business, communication, or some field that offers many jobs.
2. Decide which majors you don’t like. This can help weed out some options and make you focused on the appealing majors.
3. Try new hobbies and activities to discover what you have an interest in. And while you’re experimenting, add some more options to your “no” list.
4. Ask adults with experience in majors you’re interested in. The adults in your life will be flattered that you’re asking them questions.
5. Don’t stop praying. Ask for God’s will to be done and for Him to guide you as you make decisions about your future.
Pray without ceasing. (1 Thessalonians 5:17 NASB)
I hope this list helps you if you’re unsure what college-related choices to make. (And Step 5 applies to everyone, not just students.) Praying is key to letting go of the calendar life—and filling it up with productive activities can also help. Keep your options open and be willing to try new things! You never know what God has in store for you.
