2nd Year of Anthem

I'm still praying about what to do this summer and next year. But I definitely feel that a second year of Anthem would be so awesome for me. Now that I'm in the worship/church rotation, i get the opportunity to help with worship every week, and almost every Sunday a passion for another year is reignited in me. Almost every Sunday i tell my self that i could do another year of Anthem, even if all i got to do was help out with worship. And what's awesome is that i would get even more if i did another year. In prayer for my future i become confronted with the fact that i would miss out on making more money, going to college, seeing family, being in another ministry area, and more. Honestly, i feel some pressure to do college from some people but i know that God has me here for a reason, and it's bigger than college. The other day i read this verse and i think it is very perfect for me and everyone to hear:

Yes, everything else is worthless when compared with the infinite value of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For the sake I have discarded everything else, counting it all as garbage (poop), so that I could gain Christ and become righteous through faith in Christ. For God's way of making us right with himself depends on faith. I want to know Christ and experience the mighty power that raised him from the dead. I want to suffer with him, sharing in His death, so that one way or another I will experience the resurrection from the dead! - Philippians 3:8-11
