I know it’s been a while since I’ve written anything, but that’s just life. While April was a busy month for me, it has to have been my favorite month this year. The things that made this month busy were things that I truly enjoy and love doing. In March, I had been presented with many amazing opportunities that would help me grow not only in my future career, but in my faith, and as a person. While all of these opportunities were amazing, I knew I couldn’t take all of them and had some decisions to make. During that process, I struggled to believe that I deserved any of these opportunities because I felt like I hadn’t earned them. If you know me, you know I don’t like having things handed to me, I have to work hard and earn them.
On April 1st, I had the opportunity to talk to one of my closest friends and explain to her how I was feeling. She just sat there and listened while I talked for what felt like hours. My friend has been there for me since my first semester of college and has watched me grow in my faith and into the woman I am today. That night, she made me realize that I was more than deserving of the opportunities that were being presented to me. She reminded me of who I was when we first met and who I have become. She also reminded me that this was all a part of God’s plan and that I just need to continue to trust him. Once I do that, everything will fall into place.
Shortly after our conversation that night, I decided to go to my room to pray and reflect on my choices. I asked God to give me a sign. To point me in the direction he wanted me to go. On April 2nd, I was entering my building and saw something sitting on the ID scanner. At first, I just glared at it and walked inside. After a moment, I decided to go back and read the card, which had a verse from Zechariah written on it. Once I read the card a few times, I realized it was God’s answer to my prayers. I no longer questioned or doubted the opportunities that had been presented to me and knew which ones to aim for.
