God's Plan

As part of my major change, I had to attend an academic plan workshop. As the title says, I had to plan my academic career with my new major. On my way back, I was reflecting on the past four years and almost 20 days that I have been here. Man, I thought I knew what God's plan was for my life.
I think that a lot that happened was part of His plan to teach me some valuable lessons. First I didn't get into Maryland, so I went to MC. Then I got into Maryland but as an out-of-state student. Then I went through a long petition process and received in-state status. Then I applied to the College of Education and didn't get in. I waited a year, started a minor in the mean time, reapplied and gt in. In the Fall of 2014, I was getting ready what I thought was going to be my last year in school. When people asked me what I wanted to do after graduating. Many asked me if I wanted to go to grad school, but I told them that I had enough of school and wanted to work. My plan was to graduate Spring 2015, but God had a different plan. It was kind of a smack in my face, saying, "You won't graduate when you want to! You will have to do another two or three semesters! I have a better plan for you!" Man, you don't know how much that hurt. I cried for several hours and talked to my friendly neighbor and room mates. Then there was that big question mark lingering over my head and life for that matter. What next? I gave myself a day to recover from the news and then started looking and researching possible majors. Throughout this time I knew that God still had the plan for me to become a teacher, but He also opened my heart to think about counseling as another option. I signed up for the workshops and decided that God would lead me.
Do I know what God's plan for me is now? No. Do I worry? No. I don't need to know what God's exact plan for my future are as long as I trust in His guidance, I don't have to worry. Sometimes I will fall or reach a fork in the road. In this situation, I was thankful for having had this experience and coming to the fork. I was able to learn more about myself, my strengths and weaknesses. God is giving me more time and a new place to change course and work on what needs work and refine the skills I already have. God's plan for me is to be where I am now and nowhere else. He will surely lead me ALL the way.
