i don't know if this really is God's calling for me, but i really figure...go until God stops you. i think our prayer should be that we really seek Him out, and to be content in whatever circumstances.QUOTE]
...I was pre-pharmacy, then pre-dental, then pre-pharmacy again..and look where I am again. What is my deal? Ilovemangoes, you said go until God stops you. ...That is exactly what I have been thinking too. I just need to do that. I just need to take my pre-reqs and just decide two years from now. I was pre-pharmacy because it only takes 4 years, and it was very appealing to me. Here's the story, ( I think it is a good read and may apply to someone who reads it)
This evening, I called walmart's pharmacy, and of course got an answering machine, and I almost pressed 0 to talk to someone who works there but instead I hung up the phone. A few days ago, I told my girlfriend (of almost 3 years) that I was changing to pharmacy. What is so amazing is that she was doing dental hygeine, because she wanted to work for me (yes, we will marry after undergrad), but I am now thinking that her doing dental hygeine was NOT on God's agenda. So, she changed from dental hygeine, to pre-pharmacy. Funny how God works huh? I am going to tell her that we both just need to stop worrying about what it is we want to do career wise, and that whatever God wants to happen...WILL HAPPEN. Who knows, she could end up applying to dental school with me! However, we both should just do pre-reqs, and seek God, and we can achieve our goals. The whole "4 years only of pharm school" was appealing, but I don't see myself doing that. It doesn't even interest me! It never did! So, that all being said, I found out in the past week that whenever you think YOU are in control, YOU are NOT, and God WILL stop you, not because he wants to control your life, rather he only wants to be a part of it. God wants me to stop being so infatuated with school. We all need to let God seriously be the top priority, and just slow down, and enjoy the time we have left as pre-professionals.
I thank you whoever started this thread. This thread was my U-Turn sign from God.
