Advisement is sneaking up on us at Southern Miss. While many students moan and groan when they hear the phrase, "It's time to sign up for advisement", I get weirdly excited. As a matter of fact, I was the first student to sign up for advisement in my department (I'm a complete dork I know). Maybe I love advisement because I am blessed with a wonderful advisor. She literally would do anything for her students. Along with being my advisor, she is also my very favorite teacher. I always feel prepared in her classes and gain so much from her lectures. Without her, I would probably be an utter wreck! She is the reason that I finally know what I want to do with my life. I never feel unsure when I leave her office. Which brings me to my point, all of us need some sort of advisement in our lives, we all need guidance.
Some may find their way through self help books, a parent, or maybe Oprah is your go to guide to life. However, I am learning to rely on, you guessed it, The Man Upstairs. When it comes to making decisions regarding my education I never question the suggestions that my advisor gives me. But man oh man, I have had some major pain in my neck from listening to Jesus’ advice. I do not know exactly why that is but I have discovered that when I do listen I am usually pretty satisfied with the results. I wish I felt as confident after a long talk with Jesus as I do after a long talk with my advisor. I mean I'm pretty sure he knows more than she does. So, next time I am in a pickle instead of running to my advisor's office I will take a second and talk to The Lord. I have heard he will never steer anyone in the wrong direction. . .
Is finding guidance the secret to life?
1The LORD is my shepherd,
I shall not want.
2He makes me lie down in green pastures;
He leads me beside quiet waters.
3He restores my soul;
He guides me in the paths of righteousness For His name's sake.
4Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I fear no evil, for You are with me;
Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.
5You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies;
You have anointed my head with oil;
My cup overflows.
6Surely goodness and lovingkindness will follow me all the days of my life,
And I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever.
I shall not want.
2He makes me lie down in green pastures;
He leads me beside quiet waters.
3He restores my soul;
He guides me in the paths of righteousness For His name's sake.
4Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I fear no evil, for You are with me;
Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.
5You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies;
You have anointed my head with oil;
My cup overflows.
6Surely goodness and lovingkindness will follow me all the days of my life,
And I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever.
Psalm 23
