Focusing on the Way

So it's that time again...

Time to register for classes for next semester and what not. Two weeks ago, I went to my advising appointment and was told that because of my grades, I would be a much better candidate for a Master's in Clinical Social Work instead of the PhD in Clinical Psychology that I want to pursue. This really made me think, 'But, God isn't this what you want me to do, though?' This was the first time since switching from Pre-Med to Psychology that I began to question my career path. This past summer I did an internship with a Clinical Social Worker and enjoyed it, so why not go that way? All because of the statement of one person, I was considering settling.

That weekend, as I was listening to "Walk on Water" by Mali Music, I heard and actually GRASPED the meaning of the lines, "Full of power and might, Jesus the Christ defies the logical, Just keep your eyes on Him, Keep your eyes on Him. Don't look to the left, nor to the right, just walk to The Light." I had never really thought about those words until that moment and my eyes filled with tears. God used that song to remind me that no matter what man says, God is able. "With man this is impossible, but with God, all things are possible."  (Matthew 19:26) He knows the way and He's ready to direct my path (Proverbs 3:5-6). All He wants is for me to keep my eyes on Him. If He gave me every single thing that I needed for my future right now, I would have no reason to put my trust in Him.. "He's the Maker of my dreams and He's making a way for me." (Group 1 Crew, "Steppin' Out")  I'm still not 100% on God's plan for my life, but I know that it's something amazing (Jeremiah 29:11) and I'm trusting Him to lead.

Don't let ANYthing uproot the dream God has planted in your heart. He is able, he will never fail. He is the only one who can equip you for the awesome work He has made just for you and how He does it may just DEFY all logic.

Check out the songs! They've been an encouragement for me....
