From California to Texas

Well, here I am in Texas. I’m swamped with homework and the addition of a job is just about to make my schedule even crazier. I share a house with strangers, and I am 15,000 miles away from the nearest familiar face. Sometimes I wonder how I even got here, or why I even came in the first place. Even people that meet me and find out that I left California think I must have lost my mind. To be completely honest, I don’t even know for sure why I am out here. I felt a leading from the Lord and in a leap of faith I followed Him here.

Little did I know when I visited this place last September that I would be living here in less than a year. My infatuation with the vet school at Texas A&M led me to look into the possibility of attending. As I searched for God’s will in this, I saw how the doors of opportunity came flying open. There has been no mistake in thinking this has been ordained by God. So many people have been a part of getting me where I am. Each person was used in such a miraculous way, from getting me my classes, to providing me with a job. I have been incredibly blessed!

After three weeks out here, I am still getting my bearings. I know I am supposed to be here, but I am still trying to figure out why God has me here instead of somewhere else. Not that I mind. I love Texas. But there are other vet schools I could be attending, including the pre-vet program I left back in California. Why God has chosen this course for me now is a big part of discovering who I am in Christ, and what His purpose is for me here.
