What Happens Next After you don the graduation suit, walk the stage, get the diploma, and throw the hat… what comes next? If you’re someone who hasn’t quite yet made a decision about what’s coming next in life after high school, it can be a scary time. All around you, your friends are talking about which dorm decorations they’re going to buy, what new college t-shirts they have coming in the mail, and how excited they are about summer orientation. Meanwhile, you’re still trying to figure out exactly where you’re going next. First of all, we want you to know that you aren’t alone. All around the country there are thousands of other students who are going through the same uncertainty you are facing, unsure of what to do next. Whether you didn’t get accepted into the college you really wanted to attend, or if you aren’t sure what you should study, or you don’t know that you want to go to college at all—that’s okay. We’re here to talk you through some valuable steps that you can take to make the most of the next few weeks and set your life on the right path for your future. Be Encouraged We often think of God’s plan for our lives as a prescribed path or a tangible earthly goal—both things that are easy to follow and easy to achieve. But the truth is—there will be twists and turns! While He is sovereign and does guide us, God’s main focus is to make us godlier and to develop our character. But the ways in which that happens and takes place are so vastly different from one person to the next. So, resist the urge to compare your current life situation to someone else’s! During this time, God is trying to teach us to trust Him. Sometimes seasons of uncertainty are actually the most purposeful ones—the ones where God is most present. The next time you find yourself confused as to why your life is going the way it is, take a deep breath, step back, and reflect on these verses for comfort: Philippians 1:6 | Psalm 27:13 | Deuteronomy 7:9 Know that God truly is in control, and He has your BEST interests at heart. Give Him control and get ready to see your life change like never before!
