“When God closes a door, he opens a window”
This trip is not what I had planned.
For years I have wanted to go into the medical field (ultrasound technician). I have been working towards this goal for many years, and I thought the next year after graduation would be beginning this journey, by going to college to pursue this degree.
If you don’t know much about Ultrasound tech. it is a very difficult program and is very competitive. There also are very few colleges with this program and every school has different prerequisites. I put my effort into trying to get into a specific program at Boise State University.
For the last year it was my goal to get into this program and begin where I thought God had called me. I prayed for God to make it very clear if he wanted me there and if his plan aligned with my own.
He answered that prayer but differently than I had expected. I did not get in. God said no to this, whether it is just not the right time, place, or he wants me to do something completely different I still don’t know, but I am learning to trust him with my future.
So, what now? I decided I didn’t want to sit in my grief of this. I wanted to make options available so God could open a door. I started looking at other schools and missions’ trips to see where God would want me this next year.
I found this trip and again I prayed for God to make it clear If he wanted me here. Everything seemed to line up perfectly for this trip. The only reason I would have to say no is that I was scared. I knew God was calling me to step out in faith.
This is what lead me to this very unexpected trip. I am so ready to see what God has for me and how he continues to surprise me.
Thank you for following along on my journey, and please keep me in your prayers 🙂 You also can subscribe to keep updated on my trip!
God loves you
