So, for some odd reason, while I was sitting in the food court on campus before class, a thought randomly interjected itself into my mind:
"I like Criminal Justice, but the only thing I want to do in life is sing. That's it."


Pretty simple, you might think. But for some odd reason, it's much more complex than that. And I'm going to attempt to tell you why. 


Singing is my passion. Hands down, without a single doubt in my mind. I could sing forever and ever and never get tired of it. I don't care how much I'm getting paid to sing-I just want to make people happy with music. That being said, singing is not a very realistic job, nor does it automatically pay well if I did get a job. But it's the one thing on this earth that I love more than anything (other than God, of course) and I'm good at it (not trying to brag, honestly).


Criminal Justice has always been something I was interested in. I watch crime shows all the freaking time, and I just find it absolutely fascinating. And the job pays well. BUT, it requires a lot of work, almost to the point where I'd be a work-a-holic. And as interesting and rewarding as it might be, I don't ever want my job to take over my life like that. However, even in the first week or so of school, I've really enjoyed my Criminal Justice class.


So, what do I do? Where do I go?
I love Criminal Justice, but my heart is dead set on singing. In fact, I was majoring in C.J. as a fallback in case my music career never took off. 


Confliction is something I know all too well, and I really don't like saying that. And at this very moment in time, I am EXTREMELY conflicted. Do I do the logical thing-the one with financial stability and a "guaranteed" job? Or do I follow my heart's desire, and the gift God handed me, and take that risk, but do what I love every single day?


This is the question of the day. And I really need to make a decision, because sooner or later, I'm going to have to declare a major.


So which do I declare?
Criminal Justice or Music Performance?


HELP!!!




"'For I know the plans I have for you,' declares the Lord. 'They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.'" Jeremiah 29:11 (NLT)


Please keep me in your prayers, and pray that I choose God's will for my future, and not my own.




Have a blessed week!


In His name,
