uni and choices

[laura_4787]

hi my name is laura,

my situation at the moment is that i love my home church, and someday i want to become a youth pastor of it, or do something in my church as a youth leader or in leadership

however my friend had a prophesy that i would do it in april, im quite scared that she is influencing me to stay and when she told me i burst out in tears.

now the time is coming for me to go to uni, in like 2 weeks im quite scared cos i think i should do it now, but i dont want to sacrifice uni, should i go just to get a degree, or shall i just not go,

the other thing is that i applied on the spur of the moment, and it just seems, that things keep happening on the spur of the moment, is that god?

if im called to go to uni shouldnt i have a calling and a purpose?

im so confused, i dont think i even explained it right

Does going to University have to do with your calling into the ministry? Why can't you do both, work with the Youth Ministry and go to school? Can you minister at the school you are planning on attending?

I am praying for an answer to your question.

What are you going to do at university? Have you considered going to a bible college and taking classes on youth ministry? Or do you feel like you have a different calling besides youth ministry. Keep in mind that you can do both, for awhile my church had a volunteer youth leader. You'll be busy, but you can take classes at the university while acting as the youth leader for a church. Maybe God is calling you to do something with a university education, but also wants you to do some stuff with church youth.

Is a woman youth pastor allowed?

April's a long way off. I say go to school now, and take it a semester at a time. I know we like to have it all planned and know everything is going to go according to plan...but that's just not how things go. Maybe God will show you a way to do both, maybe He'll make it more clear if you're supposed to do just one or the other. In the meantime, move forward in your education. You've got a whole semester before then.

hello

i think i should go to uni now, because the opportunity id there and not many people get the opportunity

i spoke to my pastor about it

and basically, he said go, if its not what god wants he will close doors. and open windows of opportunity

youth ministry will be cool with a church where im going. but i think that was a calling for later in life

i have alot of life left now

im feeling alot at peace about this now,and also i think praying about has helped me alot

thank you ever so much
