It is one thing to doubt that there is a plan for you, and simply another to not recognize a path that is being laid for you. I am not quite sure what you mean by putting all your eggs in one basket in terms of the number of schools you are applying for or what, but I think you are staring at a tree and not seeing the forest. The plan that you hope God has for you is that you are going to medical school. So you pursue that path best you can, but not be nearsighted enough to not see that there is more than one school, and more than one route to get to where you are going. If you think that cultivating as many options as you can is doubting God's path, I would be inclined to politely disagree, and here is why: The nature of life is to learn as much as we can, and find a path that is fulfilling in all ways, spiritually being one of them. With the gift of free will, saying that there is only one right path seems like it would be frustrating. There is one right path for you, and it will come in the form of the choices you make, and is entirely separate from anything that can be tangibly quantified or qualified by this world; it is unlike any other person's individual journey. I would not worry about whether you are on the right path, my dear. If you get caught in logistics, I give you this advice (which was something that Night Vale posted) "Don't let numbers tell you what to do, you are blood and earth, not theory and chalk."Izzyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14679114361043853877noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8400452823085691224.post-17919768459301356592013-10-12T10:28:01.179-07:002013-10-12T10:28:01.179-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Izzyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14679114361043853877noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8400452823085691224.post-84312181312585307112013-08-06T18:42:54.958-07:002013-08-06T18:42:54.958-07:00Thank you so much!!

I too grow too anxious of the future and forget that God has this in control. I will pray for you to calm and fully rely on Christ, and I ask you do this too! While it may be hard, we can pray for one another to help a sister out. :)Meganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09103240603872946322noreply@blogger.com
