Home Owner?

Tonight, before church, I stopped by my parents house and had dinner with my stepmom. When I say parents I usually mean my dad and stepmom. Anyways, as we were eating, my stepmom and I got on the subject of where I was going with my life. What was I going to do with once I graduated in a few months? I told her that after LSUS I would probably go into more school which would be seminary (Bible College) and work maybe as a pharmaceutical sales rep, until done with all schooling. Then go into ministry and follow wherever God leads me. She then brought up the subject of me buying a house. Its not like the idea hasn't crossed my mind, because it has, alot lately, especially since I am just throwing my money away paying rent for my apartment. But I guess I just assumed that I would be older, married maybe, or something. It's crazy how fast we grow up. I still feel like I am 15. Its like my mind hasn't caught up with the rest of me. I have always been very mature for my age though, even now, my best friends are 5-10 years older than me. I guess it comes as a slight shock, the thought of buying a house, but still I am very excited about the idea. Thats all it is for right now atleast, an idea, but soon, hopefully, it will become a reality.

  1. I would say, do not buy until you find the exact one you want and you are absolutely ready. Where do you plan on attending Bible College? Will you be able to hold down a full time job? You seem like you have a great head on your shoulders and will really excel in whatever it is that you decide to do!

  2. With the housing market as it is these days, you might be able to find a bargain. But do be careful about it and think through the long-term. Good luck!

  3. Thanks! EC, I am not sure where I will be attending Bible College, which makes me a little nervous. But God is the One that has called me into ministry so my hope rests in Him and where He directs me. I have a few places in mind though! There are two schools in Shreveport and one a little down south. But like I said, its not really My decision. And I am not exactly sure how the full time job thing is going to work either, but one of the schools I am interested in only has class one night a week, so I am sure things will work out. God never gives you more than you can handle and I am very excited for what He has called me into!
