this month has been a whirlwind of amazing and eye-opener events. aside from gradschool acceptances, God has also provided another wonderful blessing: His seed that He has planted inside of me has finally began growing!
to clarify..
i have always been interested in nonprofits (more so interested in those that help provide education for impoverished societies). and i have always wanted to be a 2nd grade or math teacher. but my parents disapproved of the latter so i gave up on that dream and pursued accounting instead. but during college and post-college, i struggled with the idea of accounting as a profession. i didn't love numbers THAT much, i didn't care too much for working for the corporate world, and i had little, if not none, inkling of knowledge about businesses in general. yet, for some reason, God never let me fall away from the path of accounting. i had no idea why...
until now.
during these two weeks, God has exposed nonprofits and inspirational individuals to me. as if i didn't already have so many things to think about, He has been slowly revealing to me what may lie in my future -- basically, what His purpose is for me. all of a sudden, everything became so clear! there was finally truth and passion in the words i had written for my personal statement for gradschools, about how i wanted to serve nonprofits and underprivileged communities. everything just makes sense now. my heart for nonprofit, my love for education (keyword: education. does not necessarily mean schoolwork and such, haha), and my stubborn hold on accounting. these three things can be combined altogether (!!!!) and i would be living out my purpose in life.
i am SO, SO, SO ecstatic and in tears. what i thought i had wanted so much (being a schoolteacher) is NOTHING compared to what God has planned for me. His plans, His thoughts, His ways are SOO much better than what little things i had dreamed of for myself. how incredibly true it is that only God knows what is best for us!
february has been an absolutely wonderful and profound month. i can't WAIT to see how else He will be working in my life.
thankYou, God.
