Before College Decisions, Anchor Your Life

High school graduation is an exhilarating time. Freedom is arriving. Independence is developing. Opportunity awaits you around every corner.

Before you pick your major, fill out applications, and plan your campus tours, there is one question more important than any other:

Who are you becoming? (See 2 Peter 3:18)

College is a time of formation. The routines you establish, friendships you cultivate, and spiritual disciplines you maintain will mold you far more than your major ever will.

Make sure you are developing three relationships first: your relationship with God, your parents, and your teachers. Remain spiritually vigilant, and you won't fall prey to the things that will seek to distract you and compromise your future. Honor your parents, and you will remain grounded in both wisdom and gratitude. Value your teachers, and you will develop humility and discipline.

Party school culture can be enticing. Skipping class can feel innocent. Cutting corners may feel worthwhile. But every long-term detour starts with a small compromise.

College success starts long before your arrival on campus.

Ask yourself:

• Am I spiritually prepared to be set free?

• Have I let my parents know that I appreciate their guidance?

• Am I graduating with honor?

Your next big step depends on more than just where you go.

It's about who you become when you get there.
