Changes have been going on in my life recently. I believe they are for the good, but right now they are just causing me to be overwhelmed. I recently changed my major from biochemistry to cellular and molecular biology. It is a long story why i switched and I will not bore you with the details. But I am happy with the switch so that is all that matters. I also have picked up a genetics minor. Over the past year I have become super interested in genetics and genetic disorders. Something about it just lights a fire in my soul so I thought pursuing a minor in it would be the best thing. Well yesterday I had an advising appointment. I have a new advisor and I love her. She is so sweet and has an abundance of great advice. She is a blessing for sure. Anyways we were talking about my plans for after college. For some time now I have thought about being a nurse practitioner and working with children. My advisor suggested that since I love genetics so much I look at some colleges that have a genetic counseling program. I took her advice and now I am confused. Well not really confused, just weighing out the options of what I should do with my life. I have been praying a ton these past few days about it and for some reason I keep going back to the websites about genetic counseling. Being able to help babies and children and families work through a genetic disease diagnosis sounds like such a blessing. Helping others is what I have wanted to do for as long as I can remember, could this be my calling? I am not 100 percent sure just yet, and i still have about a year to figure it out, but I feel like God has been tugging on my heart this week. I am excited to see what comes out of all of this. And just to think that all of this came out of an advising appointment. God can work in some mysterious ways sometimes!!!!!
Speaking of working in mysterious ways, my bible reading over the past couple of days has really been speaking to my heart. Tuesday I read Hebrews 1-3 and Psalms 24, and today I read Hebrews 4-6 and Psalms 25. I had never even looked in the book of Hebrews before. I did not realize that it was a proclamation about how superior Jesus is to all the prophets of old, and how we should pick up everything and follow him. WOW what a message. I wish I could have read this earlier on in my christian life. Psalms is going well also. Today a certain verse really spoke to me. Like I said I have been kind of stressed and worried and I know that I should not be. Worrying means that you are not putting your trust in God, but hey I am not perfect and sometimes ( a lot of times) I catch myself being a worry-wart. The verse was Psalm 25:4-5. "Show me your ways, O Lord, teach me your paths; guide me in your truth and teach me, for you are God my Savior, and my hope is in you all day long." LOVE IT!!!! Such relief to my spirit to hear that.
Hopefully all my ranting and stress relieving chatter did not totally confuse you or bore you. Thank you for listening and if you don't mind, prayers would be much appreciated for all the decisions that must be made on my behalf in these next few months. Oh and just a reminder for anybody who cares...93 days until PASSPORT. I filled out my name tag form and travel form today. So very exciting!!!! I hope and pray that everybody has a wonderful rest of the week. It is hump day and Friday is in sight!!!! I pray that everybody stays safe and that your journey is blessed :)
