The Path “There is a Power whose care/ Teaches thy way along a pathless coast-/ The desert and illimitable air-/ Lone wandering, but not lost.” This stanza from William Cullen Bryant’s “To a Waterfowl” raises some questions. Who or what is the “Power” that leads me? Where do I think this path is going? Why do I trust this “Power” to lead me down this path? I believe that the “Power” that leads me is the God of the Bible and He leads me on the path he has laid out for me. As previously stated, I believe that the “Power” that leads me is the God of the Bible. I believe it is the God of the Bible because as I read the Bible I see many ways in which God reveals Himself. God reveals Himself to me by nature, the order of all living things, the emotions I am able to feel, and the historical evidence of His existence and influence of the nation of Israel. I also believe it is God by the path I am following now, as it is so unique to me and my life that the only possible way the events of the path could fall into place so perfectly is by the hand of a perfect God. …show more content…
Although I do not know for certain what kind of engineer, I am certain that he wants me to build and create things that will help other people in many different ways. These ways may be medical, common convenience, and space exploration. I also think that He will lead me to have some form of political career. He may not want me to become President of the United States of America, but I am sure that He wants me to influence the world governments in such a way that it will bring glory and honor to His name. I would rather bring glory and honor to God’s name than follow my own selfish ambitions. The reason for this can be found in the Bible, “For I know what I have planned for you,’ says the Lord. ‘I have plans for you to prosper you, not to harm you. I have plans to give you a future filled with hope (Jeremiah 29:11
“Through me the way to the suffering city, through me the way to the eternal pain, through me the way that runs among the lost. Justice urged on my high artificer; my maker was divine authority, the highest wisdom and the primal love. Before me nothing but eternal things were made, and I endure eternally. Abandon every hope, who enter here.” (III, 48)
I aspire to become a leader in my family and community inspiring those around me to maximize life to its fullest potential. To use my God given gifts and talents to apply the principles necessary, to make a significant difference in the lives of others. To live a balanced life challenging myself intellectually as well as allowing time for my mind to rest and do things I enjoy. To look at life through a child’s eyes, not being distressed about the past or worrying about the future. All the while dancing like nobody’s watching.
“And sorry I could not travel both” (2), the speaker is coming to a decision. In everyone’s life, they must make a decision to follow God or not to follow God. In this poem, the speaker has to make this choice. He tries to look down both roads as far as he can to see the choices that might result from taking either path. “Yet knowing how way leads on to way” (14), he knows that this decision is not temporary. He knows that once he chooses a path, he “doubted if I should ever come back” (15[VR1] ).
"For I know the plans I have for you, says the Lord, Plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a future and a hope." Jeremiah 29:11
Full disclosure: I've lived my entire life wanting to be an engineer. My father is a manufacturing engineer. My grandfather was an electrical engineer. My girlfriend is currently studying at Iowa State in mechanical Engineering. I am an engineer at heart.
In "A White Heron" by Sarah Orne Jewett, the main character, Sylvia, must decide between the human, material world and the natural, organic world in an ultimatum centered around the life of an elusive and enchanting White Heron. This journey Sylvia takes is developed through the author's use of colors and metaphorical applications of animals to highlight the main character and her central conflict of choosing between man and nature.
I am Jason Conway. I currently live in Modesto, Ca, where I was born and raised. I am 36 years old with a beautiful wife and an 9-month old baby boy. I am pursuing a degree in Business Administration-General at Liberty University. I work in full-time ministry at the Modesto Gospel Mission, and have been on staff there for 8 years as the Operations Manager. I am also a Campus Pastor for Celebration Center in Oakdale, Ca where we are on our 2nd year of ministry at this location. My wife Gina is also currently enrolled in LUO, and we look forward in seeing what God has purposed for us. Jeremiah 29:11 states it perfectly “For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm
I used to believe and, to a less extreme extent, still believe that God does not have for everyone a specific occupation to pursue. Only those who undoubtedly heard the call of the Lord had that precise of a plan. In middle school and my first two years of high school I wanted to be a doctor. Everyone around me was exceedingly academically gifted and many of them had dreams of going to medical school and one day making six of seven figures. I pretended this was my goal as well. It was not until my junior year, I decided that a good path for me to follow was that of teaching. I kept having amazing history teachers that really sparked my fire to learn in that area. As I put the pieces of my life together (my skills, my talents, my passions, my personality) I realized the shape they made looked a lot like a history teacher. So if the Lord does call every individual to one certain career, which I am still not sure I believe, He did it in an indirect, yet completely successful, method with
To imply that I have always known what I wanted to become in life would be an incorrect statement to make. All I ever wanted to do is acquire a good education in engineering, work, make money, and help people.
God has created me with a specific purpose and with God’s help I know I can discover my true calling. Every one of us has three specific callings:
Engineers are valuable assets to any company because they think analytically. Engineers may advance to become technical specialists or to supervise a staff or team of engineers and technicians. Some eventually become engineering managers or enter other managerial or sales jobs.
Money and fame do not motivate my goals. Engineering in all forms is a field of innovation and invention. Aspirations of any great engineer should be to introduce to the world a new idea, product, or service that will make people happier and the environment safer. Success in these challenges is a reward greater than any dollar amount or public recognition. Engineers bring societies to new levels of civilization through their advancements in technology and discovery. The challenge to provide people with ever-increasing standards while at the same time feeding the population with ideas of what could be attracts my imagination, intelligence, and curiosity far more than any other career option. The engineering field embraces these challenges.
Everyone wants to be something from a doctor to a stylist, I want to be a mechanical engineer. This is something I have always wanted to do in my life, the opportunities that exist in this field can lead to anything. Mechanical engineers are able to do many tasks in the job environment from designing, to developing, and also building. In addition, as new companies are starting up they will need mechanical engineers to help them develop their product. All of the engineering fields have great pay, that is able to support my family and also my parents. In the work environment of a mechanical engineer, they usually are around an office and sometimes where their product is being used at. To be able to apply for a mechanical engineering job you
My career plan is to go into mechanical engineering. A mechanical engineer is the person who designs and make machines like generators. Engineering is a difficult and competitive field. Engineering requires a bachelor's degree and a good understanding of STEM (Science Technology Engineering Math). I would have to pass an engineering exam to get my license. Some school near me that offer the degree I want are Michigan, Michigan State, Michigan Tech, and Western Michigan.
I want to go back to Georgia Southern, and get my master’s degree in mechanical engineering. I will be doing this so I can move up the ladder. I hope to get promoted to a higher position within the first 10 years of my career. I feel as though my plan will make me a successful engineer. I will have to work hard and stick to my plan.
