In what direction do you plan to take your life?

Postby BigZam » Sun Jan 08, 2006 5:17 pm

Now that doesn't mean God can't change that direction. :thumb:

As for me, I hope to join the military, probably Army, since I can't swim and I can't fly because I wear contacts....But after the military I plan to go to college and get my degree in commercial art and then go wherever God leads me! All I know is I wanna travel all over the world and see everything I can.


Ok your turn!

you should do college first cause that would give you more options while in the military, as well as give you a higher rank right off the bat.

Anyhow, somehow... someway... I'm gonna find a way to put my CS skills to work for Answers in Genesis.

College only gives you a higher rank if you go officer. Having college under your belt does absolutely nothing if you go enlisted.

I agree with kae on the part about having college under your belt doesnt do much one thing it does do is give you E-2 or E-3 depending on how long you were in college for i had a couple friends with bachloers or whatever that degree is lol and they were an E3 like me and i had no college what so ever and another thing is you could probably score higher in whatever aptitude on the asvab you were in college for..

First, going to school for animation (starting now)
Also, during this time, learn spoken Japanese
After school, learn written Japanese (all 1,945 Joyo kanji at least)
At the same time, get experience in animation... Try to get work on a game project as an animator
Go to Japan to visit, make contacts. Also visit E3 and TGS, if Possible. Network like crazy.
Go to Japan to live after groundwork is layed
Try to get grunt animation work in Japan for a while
Scout Christian Youth and college Groups in Japan and in Japanese heavy portions of the US (like right here in Azusa) to find people who will work in games (programmers, musicians, other animators, etc...)
Find someone who knows how to ask for money / make a presentation to borrow.
Get together a Christian game development team from the US and Japan (I'd prefer more Japanese, because I don't want this game to be considered any more "American" that it has to because I'm working on it)
Develop the game... Provided we make back enough to cover initial costs, work on more projects.
Sometime during all of this, I want to develop my own projects and write some books (at least 3 in one story, but also an Autobiography, if only for my friends, and some other stories I have floating around in my head)

Somewhere in that timeline, I want to get married... Of course, all of this is only if God is willing I live till then and doesn't change my plans for me.

I think I will get married within the next 3 years or so.

I may continue to take studies and eventually end up in a university somewhere, either doing research or teaching. Would like to focus on philosophy.

Using my knowledge and comics as a medium to reach out to comic readers for Christ.

Helping close friends around me and emotionally supporting them as long as I'm able to.

Well, I'm hoping to finish my studies in dentistry, but I also want to do something in art and maybe be a writer on the side too. Whatever works out though; God'll show me where He wants me to go. ^^ I definitely want to get married too, but I think it best that I finish college first.

Faith is not creating a false reality, but acknowledging God's promises for us.

The dreams I dream for you
Are deeper than the ones your clinging to
Let the old dreams die
Like stars that fade from view
And take the cup I offer
And drink deeply of the dreams I dream for you

Go to college, graduate.
Figure out which intrest to presue, nursing, teaching or psych...
If I go w/ psych, start volunteering at local womens shelters, group homes, ect...
Goal w/ psych: To work in a long term group home for troubled girls and women.

Goal w/ nursing: To be a cirtified nurse midwife.

Goal w/ teaching: To teach in a deaf middle school.

Also: to get married to a strong Christian man, have 3+ kids, continue growing in my relationship with God
And I'll stop this pretending that I can
Somehow deserve what I already have

I'm currently in college, so I will finish it.
My goal and vision is to become a successful author.
My definition of success is this: following God's will for my life. He wants me to prosper, and I fully intend on doing so.
I'll get married somewhere along the way--hopefully right after college.
I will keep on working in my church, helping to fulfill their vision.
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone
And so hold on when there is nothing left in you
Except the Will which says to them: 'Hold on!' ...you'll be a Man, my son!

Currently I am on the path to getting my master's degree. After that, God knows but I don't. Hopefully I will get a job doing R&D on new nuclear reactor designs for the government or private industry. I would love to work outside the US somewhere (engineers tend to export really well) but that's really in God's hands. However, I am definitely open to something else if the Lord wills.

Most likely in Ministry or Theology/Apologetics or something (They are all pretty much tied in I know) But something that deals with Counseling (They pretty much all go together eh?)

I feel your pain, Nate lol.

It's hard not knowing what im going to do, espcially since my grandparents and the rest of my family expects me to know.

I know God has a plan, I guess I just need to pray more and be paitent.

hm...what direction do i plan to take my life? Well, the general idea is to get another 4.0 (or as close as possible!) this next semester at college. To get into the honors program, to get my drivers license(yes i know..odd order of things), to get a quality paying summer job, and to see what my Sophomore year presents.

Amusingly enough though, my plans never mean jack. I never planned to be at the college i'm at, nor did i plan many other things that are going on right now. They sort of fall into my lap..and after cowering a bit, i accept them. it's as though God keeps throwing paper airplanes of destiny(tm) at me. XD

So yes...to be honest, i hope that God trumps a few of my plans and takes me for a wild scary adventure. They're much more enjoyable in the long run. :)
