99 Thoughts for College-Age People: #5
This series is focusing on the book, “99 Thoughts for College- Age People: Insightful Tips for Life After High School” by Chuck Bomar.
I will be listing these often, they are very thought-provoking, but also humorous. Enjoy.
5. Find peace in the fact that God already knows what you’re going to do (Acts 17:24-27). You can remind your parents of that too! -Bomar pg.6
24 “The God who made the world and everything in it is the Lord of heaven and earth and does not live in temples built by human hands. 25 And he is not served by human hands, as if he needed anything. Rather, he himself gives everyone life and breath and everything else. 26 From one man he made all the nations, that they should inhabit the whole earth; and he marked out their appointed times in history and the boundaries of their lands. 27 God did this so that they would seek him and perhaps reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from any one of us.
Acts 17:24-27

4. Working with the right people is vital.
“You can actually have job responsibilities you don’t care for and yet enjoy your job if you work with the right people. The opposite is also true — you can learn a lot from people who you don’t want to be like. But in these situations you have to have skin thicker than the Great Wall of China. And since few of us do, we end up becoming miserable.” -Bomar pg. 5-6

3. Finding a temporary job until you find your career is not a bad thing.
“We all have responsibilities, and developing different types of skills will add credibility to your work history. But make sure you continue the process of finding out who you are, what you want , and how you’re uniquely talented. This will help you think through vocations that fit you, rather than you trying to fit a particular vocation. If you try to fit a vocation, you won’t accomplish much at all. Dream big.” -Bomar pg. 5

2. Discovering who you are before you try to figure out what you’ll do is extremely important.
“You have a lot of questions to answer about yourself and what you believe. Take your time. Thinking through this before you get into a career path is your biggest priority. Who are you beyond your life in high school, or now in your college-age years? We all know the 44-year-old guy who still lives off the identity of his high school football days. You must move beyond high school, but you must also move slowly. Jumping too fast in a direction may someday result in a ‘mid-life crisis.’ Take your time and seriously work through it now. It will save you a lot of pain later.” -Bomar pg. 4-5

1. The process of discovering what you want to do should be taken slowly.
“There is no rush, no matter who keeps asking you. The worst thing you can do is rush into a career path that you hate, simply to satisfy immediate pressures placed on you. I once knew a guy who for 13 years watched a machine put the caps on soda bottles. Yeah, the machine did all the work and he just watched it do its thing. I know this may be a shock to you, but this wasn’t his dream job. He got stuck. You will regret settling for something less than you want.” -Bomar pg. 3-4
Update and Passion 2011!
Passion Conference 2011 is coming to Fort Worth! I really would love you guys to join me April 1st through April 3rd. That is a Friday through a Sunday. Registration begins at 2 PM on Friday at the Fort Worth Convention Center, but the actual first session does not start until 7 so you can figure out getting there and such with classes etc. Below, I will attach the about page. The cost is about $159 per person.http://268generation.com/passion2011/#/ftworth/about …Also I could try to explain to you how awesome this thing is but I will let you see for yourselves. Check out this glimpse of Passion 2010 video. Let me know what you guys think and if you want to go. I will sign everyone up through my name so it will make signing in easier. I will shoot you guys more info soon.
The Social Network
This movie will most likely not be the most upstanding, moral, etc movie but it centers around one of the biggest common factors between college students today: Facebook. It comes out this Friday, and I would love it if you guys would check it out and let me know what you think. Social networking can be a huge tool for ministry and for positive connection but it can also be the driving force behind a generation free falling away from God. It will be interesting to see the angle that Hollywood takes on the Facebook phenomenon.
