Its that time of the semester again. Advising. A time when I suddenly realize that I have absolutely no idea as to what I want to do with my life and how tests do not show how smart I really am. Its absolutely amazing.
At my meeting, we talked about how I might have to stay an extra year than I wanted and what concentration I wanted to head towards. Can I mention to you how overwhelmed I suddenly became? I am a deliberative person. I take careful consideration as to the decisions I make. I consider all of the possible pros, cons, and risks involved in each major decision that I have to make. So to pick a concentration that ultimately shows where I want to go in life, that's a little scary. Not to mention that I might not even use exactly what I've been taught in school in my profession is also a little nerve wreaking.
But I was reminded of a something after talking with my mother. God gives guidance and most importantly peace. Giving over my worries and my troubles will calm my fears and help me to pick the best option for me. I am reminded of this in Hebrews 12:11b, "Later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who were trained by it."
How awesome is that. By simply trusting in God and God alone, he will give me peace in the situation. He tells me that he will help me and he will lead me down the right path towards him. That is so comforting. I've been dwelling on this matter for a while now. I've known that the time would come soon when I could start taking electives for my major. Knowing this has scared me. I have been taking this matter into my own hands and not giving it to God. It has caused me distress and worry. Both which are not needed or wanted in my life. But giving this to God gives me immediate relief. I can rest assured that with a little research and a lot of faith, I can, through Christ, handle this predicament before me.
Praise God for his peace!!!
