Music and Biblical Studies

Nothing is ever going to keep me away from my love and passion for music. Music was originally my minor, but I changed it to biblical studies because it would be time constraining. This evening, I had a conversation with my mother regarding the spring classes that I had registered for: Two, six hour clinical nursing/lab classes, rounding up to twelve hours! It doesn't seem much to me because I had gotten used to having 15-17 semester hours. I told my mother that I wanted to add a biblical studies class to fulfill the requirements for my biblical studies. Little did she know that I had changed my minor.

Music-I really do miss it, I really do. It's my passion and I love it. I informed my mother that I would take up music once I am done with Nursing, but something in me just wants to add that as my minor. I know, more schooling, right?

So, what is the Lord's will for my life? I find myself being consumed with the things that I want to do, that I forget all about the Lord's will for my life, and the fact that it is He who decides, not me.

Our weekly MLC (ministry leadership council) meeting reminded me of the Lord's will.

I applied for a resident assisstant position here, but to my dismay, I was not chosen. I can honestly say that I was very disappointed and embarrassed, but alas, I know that since this is not what the Lord wanted me to be in, there must be something out there better for me. Afterall, He knows better than I do, and to that, I say AMEN!
