"What are your plans for this fall?"
(for the 500th time...) "I am going to be studying Medical Assisting this fall at Ivy Tech."
I don't know exactly how many times I have answered a form of the above question the past few months, but this has been my answer almost word-for-word. Until Monday.
I had been laying in bed Sunday night for a while when I started freaking out about my future (I know, me freak out? Never!). I really started to feel like I had made a huge mistake in choosing my major. Thinking that I didn't want to spend the rest of my life (okay, maybe not the rest of my life... still it felt like it) in the medical field. But I kinda felt like I had no choice now. And besides, my mom had thought that it was right, and EVERYTIME in my life when I thought that I was right and she was wrong, guess who was wrong. ME.
The next day we were antiquing (my word for shopping antique stores), and driving around searching for a desk for my room. I wanted to have an organized space for studying in my room this fall. Riding in the car makes a comfortable place for meaningful conversations, so I told my mom that I had been second-guessing my choice of major... and she agreed with me. That surprised me. Big time.
The result of this conversation in the car led to me making an appointment with an academic advisor tomorrow. I think that I will change my major to Business Administration. But I have learned that things don't always go as planned.
Savior, I am asking You to guide me in this decision concerning my future. You know me WAY better than I think I know myself, and You have the perfect plan for my life. So, I am asking that You open my eyes and give me the faith I need to follow Your plan.
