Going to college is an exciting event that many high school children look forward to years in advance. The promise of striking out on one's own and making a life for themselves is an exceptionally alluring prospect, but not one without issues. Many times, students that enter college believe they know exactly what they want to do, but eventually feel as if something is missing from their lives. They attend their classes regularly, maybe even excel in them, but can't shake the feeling that something is wrong. This wavering of spirit can be very detrimental and could affect anyone, even those with the most conviction.
Attending Bible College is no different than going to any other university, and the issues that crop up in state colleges can still plague students of theology. Countless are the number of young men and women who come to question their decision to walk in God's light as they begin their first years of study, but this is perfectly normal. The important thing to remember is that your conviction and belief in His message was support enough to bring you this far, and it will remain strong enough to carry you through the rest of your life.
If you feel uncertain about your decision to pursue faith based education, remember the desire that brought you to that decision. Remember your friends and family that supported your decision and how much faith they instilled into your choices. Seek comfort and resolution in prayer and scripture, the tools that helped you vault over all of life's hurdles thus far. Remember, you need not feel guilty for second guessing your decision. It is more important to recall why you've made the choices you have, and to pursue your interests with the depth of love God has for you every day.
