If you’re into photography, be it film or digital, you should seriously watch this. This man put his life savings into doing what he loves and made a huge large format camera out of the back of a truck. It’s pretty impressive.

Zenit E by emilyharriet on Flickr.
O Lord, I have come to you for protection;
don’t let me be disgraced.
Save me and rescue me,
for you do what is right.
Turn your ear to listen to me,
and set me free.
Be my rock of safety
where I can always hide.
Give the order to save me,
for you are my rock and my fortress.
My God, rescue me from the power of the wicked,
from the clutches of cruel oppressors.
O Lord, you alone are my hope.
I’ve trusted you, O Lord, from childhood.
Yes, you have been with me from birth;
from my mother’s womb you have cared for me.
No wonder I am always praising you!
My life is an example to many,
because you have been my strength and protection.
Psalm 71:1-7

What you "do" does not define WHO you are, nor do your test scores
I'm probably more sensitive about this subject than others, but I'm sure there are other people who feel the same way as I do.
I am not insulting the value of what you do with your life & the hard work it takes to get there. I am not taking away from the amazing opportunities college offers. I am not bashing academics, because I think they are very important. BUT! What gets under my skin is the assumptions we make today based off of these things. We cannot measure other's intellect, heart, passion, skill, and soul based off of what they do, where they went/go/didn't go to school, and what their ACT score is. I'm holding myself accountable to this, too! I just know I've been discouraged many times because people have made assumptions regarding these things. God has a unique plan for each person, and He made us all completely different! Isn't that amazing? We are not all called to go the same places, do the same things, or achieve a certain grade academically. We are called to love, to serve, to worship, and to share the Gospel all over the world. God allows those callings to move in different ways, shapes, and sizes in each of us. It's something I'm coming to embrace more & more. I'm thankful that He sees our hearts and sees who we will all become. Take heart! You have greater things ahead. Where you're at right now doesn't necessarily define you. Let Christ take precedent of all the standards the world tries to hold us to. Trust Him, seek Him wholeheartedly, and pursue what you feel Him leading you to do.
Personally, I want to be slower to make assumptions and get to know who people really are. I want to hear their stories, learn about their hobbies, understand their sense of humor, appreciate their personality, their hopes, their dreams, and love them for who they are in Jesus' sight.
