Changing Scenery

So it is almost summer vacation, all the highschool students are stressed out of their minds working frantically to get ISU projects done, studying for final exams and trying to line up a summer job, all while they are antsy for school to be out for the summer.
Me personally, I feel like I am being pulled in a bajillion different directions all at once, and expected to be elasticwoman in accomplishing everything. ISU's, studying, scholarships, OSAP applications, course selection, residence, family, sports, friends, homework. My favourite line? Only ___ more days.
But i prefer this stressful place, because it's a much more managable place than where I was 2 weeks ago. I didn't know if I was returning to highschool, if I was going to University, what program I needed to be in. I had no idea what was going on with my life. But like always despite my doubts and fears, God came through once again.
He cleared my vision and my path to show me a glimpse of his plan, just enough to show me where and what life holds for me in the next while. Of course like always, his plan is waaaaaay different from mine, but go figure. Life still isn't fully set up for me but when has it ever been? I know where I am accepted to for school, but I haven't heard of where I'm living in the fall, how I will pay for this expensive schooling or anything like that! But I'm taking baby steps in learning to have faith and believe in what he has planned because obviously he knows whats happening.
No I'm not going for nursing like I thought I should be, but maybe it's not what would suit me best seeing as how I struggle in Chemistry and Math. Maybe this Social Work program will teach me how to reach out to people, to council and aid those who need it most. This is still a very useful skill to have in a tradgety stricken country!! Who knows what's in store??
My course now in life is pass my courses to the best of my ability, work hard all summer to help pay for school, and in the fall life will take a pretty sharp turn as I head off to University. Thunder Bay and Lakehead University here I come for Social Work!! That's a pretty different route then what I had planned that's for sure.
All I know for certain is that my scenery is changing in countless ways, and all I am focused on for the short term is making sure I actually pass math class and making it to summer vacation. I'm trying my hardest to trust God's plan will all work out for me and that HE is the one who knows best, not me. Who knows? Maybe this change in scenery will be an adventure of a life time.
