Life was easy back then. Today you have so many choices to make. Should I do this, should I do that. Follow your heart and even following that requires thought. We live in an age where it does require two in order to maintain a household.
Back in the day, The Husband worked while the wife stayed home and took care of the children. That's still somewhat possible today but it's much harder. We do things in life today to try and make life better.
Young ones normally get into debt and struggle their way out. My advise is to avoid as much debt as possible. I know someone who has been in debt for over 20 years and when they are close to getting out of it. They do things to get themselves right back into it.
Remember a credit card isn't free Money. Learn to manage. So which way should you go. I can only show you the options but can't make the choice for you.
Option A.
1. Continue School
2. Get a degree
3. Study to become a witness
4. Get baptized.
5. Get a job.
.............................
Option B.
1. Leave School
2. Study to become a witness
3. Get baptized
4. try and get a job if Jesse struggles to find one.
............................
Looking at these two options. Option A seems to be the best choice. It's not a matter of being away from Jesse because he will always be there. It's a matter of making sure that if we pass away in this system that Jesse and You can take care of each other. 18 is young and you still have your entire life ahead of you.
It's best to make sure you are secure in someway instead of struggling but do not neglect your studies if you truly wish to become a witness. Remember the scripture found at Matthew chapter 6 verse 33 which says to Keep on, then, seeking first the kingdom and his righteousness, and all these other things will be added to you.
That's not to say that you cannot get an education. Please get an education. Take advantage of what's being offered. You can still put the kingdom first and take advantage of education. It's balance that you need to have in life and as long as you remember not to forget Jehovah, all these things mentioned in Matthew will be added because Jehovah knows what you need.
