My Current Journey Down a Brick Road

It’s been quite a journey for me as far as my college career goes.  I started back in fall of 2007 at J. Sergeant Community College because I thought that just like my parents, I would find my “one true love”, get married by 21, and have kids by 24 and become the world’s greatest wife/mom just like the iconic June Cleaver….

 

I feel like I have mentioned before in pasts post that school doesn’t come easy for me like it does for some, so I felt that the only thing I was ever good for was simply just being a wife/mom.  That sounds bad because A)being a wife/mom isn’t simple AT ALL..and.. B)It is completely ridiculous to believe one can only be good at one thing and one thing only.

So most of you all who follow me on my various forms of social media have heard the crazy awesome news that I have been accepted into VCU’s Psychology program…if not well…Hey guess what dot dot dot surprise!!

  

My belief is that there is a big difference between not having faith in yourself, and not having faith in God.  I believe you don’t have to have faith in yourself to have faith in God. I know for me for the longest time I got the two confused. I felt that if I didn’t believe I could do something then that meant I didn’t have faith in God.  WRONG!  What we lack for in abilities, God more than makes up for whatever we lack…hello…if we felt confident in everything we did…then why would we turn to God for help or thank Him when it turned out right??? We would be in the mindset of “Oh I did a great job go me!” instead of “I never thought I would get through this, but God you totally helped me out, thanks God!”

After forcing myself to get up and just  turn to “Him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine”(Ephesians 3:20) for guidance and help, I found  myself staring at a letter of acceptance to my first choice school and to a program I have been hoping to get into ever since the thought was laid on my heart to pursue a field in Psychology.

 So whether your still just a kid figuring out where you might want to go to college, in college, out of college, questioning if you should or shouldn’t even go to college, or just doing your own thing, remember this:

  “Do what will make God happy, Do what you feel is right, only but one thing matters…

Learn how to live your life!”
