I am at my happiest when things are organized and in order. Call me crazy, but my absolute favorite part of every semester is filling out my paper planner with important test dates and homework &#8212; color-coated and with stickers, I might add. Let\u2019s just say I thrive when I feel in control!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I started my time at Cedarville as a worship and communication double major, unsure of what I was called to do vocationally, but convinced that I was on the right track. My plan was to finish both majors and go into full-time ministry. But by sophomore year, I felt totally lost. I knew I wanted to serve the church, but I didn\u2019t want to lead worship full-time.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1012\" style=\"width: 710px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1012\" class=\"wp-image-1012 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.cedarville.edu\/studentlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Tessa.jpg?resize=700%2C467&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"467\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.cedarville.edu\/studentlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Tessa-scaled.jpg?resize=700%2C467&amp;ssl=1 700w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.cedarville.edu\/studentlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Tessa-scaled.jpg?resize=250%2C167&amp;ssl=1 250w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.cedarville.edu\/studentlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Tessa-scaled.jpg?resize=768%2C512&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.cedarville.edu\/studentlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Tessa-scaled.jpg?resize=1536%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.cedarville.edu\/studentlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Tessa-scaled.jpg?resize=2048%2C1365&amp;ssl=1 2048w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.cedarville.edu\/studentlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Tessa-scaled.jpg?resize=120%2C80&amp;ssl=1 120w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.cedarville.edu\/studentlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Tessa-scaled.jpg?w=1800&amp;ssl=1 1800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-1012\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">-Picture taken in 2019-<\/p><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And that was where God changed my plans and called me to follow Him into the unknown. I dropped out of the worship program after nearly completing my degree and began to focus on building my writing skills. It was a <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">BIG<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> decision and <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">not<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> what I had planned.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Maybe you\u2019re facing a similar situation &#8212; interested in attending Cedarville, but not sure what you want to do with your life. Or maybe you have a lot of passions and talents, but you don\u2019t know how they can turn into a full-time job.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here are some tips that helped me with the decision-making process. I think they might help you too!<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Seek wise counsel. <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Proverbs 12:15 says this about counsel: \u201cThe way of a fool is right in his own eyes, but a wise man listens to advice.\u201d There is wisdom and safety in seeking out counsel from trusted believers &#8212; parents, mentors, teachers, grandparents, and pastors. Share your thoughts with a more mature Christian and talk through your decision-making process. My mom and dad were invaluable resources to me, and we had countless conversations as I was praying about what major to keep.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>Pray, pray, and then pray some more. <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Speaking of prayer&#8230;<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">do not<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> neglect to talk to the Lord about your decision! As you bring the issue before God, He will guide and direct you. Consistency matters and 1 Thessalonians 5:17 even encourages believers to pray constantly. I cannot tell you how often I prayed about my major change! But as stressful as it all was, that was such a sweet season simply because I was forced to go to the Lord daily in prayer.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I\u2019ll be honest with you here. As a senior, I still don\u2019t know exactly what I want to do with my life. But I do know that I want to utilize my writing skills to make Jesus\u2019 name known! And that\u2019s a good place to start.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you get to Cedarville, you may be undeclared and take a whole semester to choose a major. You may change your major five times in the first year. Or you may stick with the same program you set your sights on as a junior in high school.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1014\" style=\"width: 710px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1014\" class=\"wp-image-1014 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.cedarville.edu\/studentlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Graduation.jpg?resize=700%2C467&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"467\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.cedarville.edu\/studentlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Graduation-scaled.jpg?resize=700%2C467&amp;ssl=1 700w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.cedarville.edu\/studentlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Graduation-scaled.jpg?resize=250%2C167&amp;ssl=1 250w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.cedarville.edu\/studentlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Graduation-scaled.jpg?resize=768%2C512&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.cedarville.edu\/studentlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Graduation-scaled.jpg?resize=1536%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.cedarville.edu\/studentlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Graduation-scaled.jpg?resize=2048%2C1365&amp;ssl=1 2048w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.cedarville.edu\/studentlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Graduation-scaled.jpg?resize=120%2C80&amp;ssl=1 120w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.cedarville.edu\/studentlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Graduation-scaled.jpg?w=1800&amp;ssl=1 1800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-1014\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">-Picture taken in 2018-<\/p><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Regardless of what your process looks like, know that you don\u2019t need to have everything figured out.
