So, I came into college not really knowing what I wanted to do. Computer science seemed like a good choice; I grew up on computers, and it had a lot of scholarship money. Now, three years later, I'm wishing that I would have gone into something different. Right now, journalism, history, linguistics and theology seem like they would have been the better choices. Well, I'm three years into college, and it's too late to turn back. The irony is that my major has been cancelled by the university. I'll still be able to graduate with it if I choose to stick with it. Since I'm already in too far, I kind of have to.

Honestly, after college, I have no burning desire to work with computers for a career. My heart seems to be drawn towards relief work. Someone recommended that I go into the Peace Corps, but that idea doesn't sit well with me. I'll probably end up doing relief work with a missions organisation… and not work in their computer department.

Why? Well… I love people. Jesus Himself said that the second greatest commandment was that we love others like we love ourselves. I think that I got that part down. However, I think that I'm having trouble with the greatest commandment: loving God. In all the commotion of working with various campus ministries like Acting on AIDS, Compassion and men's ministries, I really forget why it is that I do all of this. I get so caught up with loving other people (which is not a bad thing) that I forget to adore the God who first loved us and the reason for which I love others.

Yeah.
