Something big has happened since I last updated… I withdrew from ASU!
You may be thinking to yourself: Why would Tana, the girl who worshipped school quit? What is she going to do now? Your questions are about to to be quelled.
First of all, this is not out of the blue. I have been seriously considering this option since November 2008. I thought that I should give myself another semester before I made my decision. After I started that semester, I knew for certain that this was not what I wanted out of life.
Secondly, it was not making me happy and it was distracting me from the things in my life that did make me happy. I sat down to consider what made me happy and I put them in the following order:
1. Serving and drawing close to God, Jehovah
2. Spending time with my family and friends
3. My hobbies: Cooking, Baking, Dancing, Photography & Learning
School was prohibiting me from almost all of the above.
What am I going to do with my life?
Spiritually: I’m going to start regularly auxillary pioneering (going from house to house preaching about the Bible for a certain amount of committed time) in March. I want to help people who are searching for the truth from the Bible. I know that I have found that truth and I want to share it with anyone who is interested. I finally “made the truth my own!” James 4:8 says “Draw close to Jehovah and He will draw close to you.” I plan on achieving this as well as helping others to also through free home Bible studies.

Workwise: I have no idea yet but I want to pursue a career in one of my hobbies. Maybe I’ll go to culinary school or become a photographer! (I’m going to put my faith first for at least a year and then start working on my financial support. Matthew chapter 6 talks about how we need to stop being anxious over things in this world. If we put Jehovah first, he will provide all the other things we need.)
I can tell you all one thing for certain. I have been more happy in these few short weeks than I have ever been in my life! If you have any other questions, just let me know! I’ll answer them
~ Till next Tana Time, enjoy life! I know I will! ~
