Let me guess, when you were a child you wanted to be a ballerina or a superhero. Then, it was a firefighter or an astronaut. As you got older, you learned what you liked and what you were interested in. You wanted to be an entrepreneur or a lawyer. Once you knew what you wanted to be, you started working towards this by focusing on your grades, building up your resume, and getting into that dream school. But now that you're here, something doesn't seem right. You're not alone.
Ever since the age of 10, I had my entire life planned out. I was going to graduate high school, go to the University of Oklahoma and earn a Bachelor's in Biology on the Pre-medicine track, go to medical school and graduate top of my class, begin practicing as an OBGYN, open up my own practice, get married and have 3 children, and live a happy life. I know exactly what you're thinking, "Girl, you were 10", but I have always been strong-willed. Once my mind is set, there's not really any changing it. So, I was determined to become an OBGYN. I took Human Growth and Development classes in high school, I took college courses in high school so that I could be a semester ahead, and I was in every extracurricular you could think of. My resume was a masterpiece.
I got accepted to the University of Oklahoma, and it was time for my first semester. It flew by and it was hard, but it was supposed to be right? It was the adjustment semester, that's what everybody told me. Then, it was the second semester and I was so lost and I felt purposeless. I was involved on campus, I was studying, and I was going to class everyday, but something was missing. Something didn't feel right. I realized that my plan was not God's plan, and that's okay. It was time for a change.
So, I met with my advisor and changed my major to Business Management with a Minor in Sports Management. I am not sure where my path is headed, but I know that following God will never end in failure. I am not the head of my life, God is. It is time for me to put every ounce of my trust in him, and that is exactly what I am doing. I urge you to join me. If you feel stagnant or if you feel God calling you to make a change in your life, DO IT! There's no better time than now, and there's no better person to follow than the one who literally wrote your story.
