Weakness In Your Mind

So, I've had a very eventful week thus far.

The last few weeks I have been struggling trying to figure out what career path I will be choosing, once I have my degree in a few months. I feel lost when it comes to that. I already know what I want to do, but every job search comes up to me having to be a Doctor, first.

I understand I have to be a doctor to get the position I would like, and I definitely want that as well. I will get there eventually, God willing. But, I am ready now. I am ready to help Veterans and their families, and be that Marriage & Family Therapist. I am ready to help my husband financially, instead of he doing all by himself. I am ready to be able to serve others in the line of work I will be doing. Most of all, I am ready to serve God in what He put in my heart to do.

What about you guys? Is there something you're

ready to do, but may be rushing it a little bit?

So in the midst of all my anxiousness, I changed my degree (still psychology, just a different major). I started looking for teaching jobs, because I was swilling to be a school counselor instead of a marriage and family therapist. I was going to add another major on with my major. It was terrible. Then, Monday night I had an epiphany.

My mind is weak. I don't have faith in myself, because there are others (close to me) that scoff at what I am trying to do. Apparently, since others think my wanting to be a doctor is just another aspiration of mine, that I am going to give up. Well, regardless of what they think, I am NOT doing this for them. I am not doing this for my husband. I am NOT doing this for myself. I am doing this for God. I am doing this for Veterans and their families all over the world. I got my head back on straight after speaking with my husband. He is very supportive, but he was concerned that I was just going to give up. Well, I am not a quitter.

My advice to those people who are struggling to keep going when they feel they are stuck, would be to sit down. Stay quiet. And listen. You would be amazed at how much you can hear when there are no noises at all.
