I randomly stumbled upon a career that is graciously satisfying, fittingly challenging, and most importantly, the way it's worked out shows that this is in the path that God's laid out for me to glorify him. This career does not require a master's degree, it doesn't come with a salary bump. I'm already in the field. But I want to learn more and want to achieve the best I can because I want to give all I can in order to do a good job for God. This career, I know is a gift from God, just like everything I have as long as I live. After a little over 2 years of thinking it over, I applied and got in. I still couldn't get my guts to accept this 'debt'. Financially, I see no benefits. Intellectually, I will gain so much and also more credit in my field, but this field values experience much more than the master's program.
My struggle is discerning which is the way I take in order to dedicate my talent and career to God. I am afraid and scared to make an irrational ungodly decision because of my idolization of financial comfort (not doing the program) or pride (doing the program). I have prayed about it since I'd wanted it and now the starting point has been that I want to make choices with an identity of a christian. Any advice or opinion will be appreciated... the school gave me an extended offer to think it over and I have to make a decision in a week.. I could let go of the opportunity and apply in another year, but I just think if I am going to do it at some point, I should do it as soon as possible when I have more free time as a single. Please help and pray for me!
