Have you ever had a moment in life when you knew everything would be okay? There may be odds against you, people standing in your way, finances out-of-order, but something happens that tells you you’re on the right path — and it takes any doubt away (?).

I had that moment today.

Yesterday, I was torn between my current career and all the possibilities for my future. Today, I received an acceptance letter from a PhD program I knew I’d be rejected from. What? You said there were only four openings — I’m not that impressive, so how did I make the cut? Isn’t it funny how life makes choices for you?

My goal is to write every day. However, I’m still too shocked to say much. But, I know this: my life is not in my hands. I can have wants, desires and dreams, but there is a higher power at work here and I am so happy He is in control. What would happen if my indecisive self actually planned my future? Chaos.

All glory be to God.
