So here we go... the official start to my long journey to physical therapy. Tomorrow is the start of classes and I'm taking Chemistry and Physics to start things off. My schedule isn't too bad and I hope to find work at a physical therapy clinic sometime in November. It's a surreal feeling that everything is beginning, it honestly feels like I'm a freshman all over again with all the jitters.
Part of me still thinks I'm crazy for giving up a comfortable job to chase after something that could never happen. The thoughts of failure still float around in my head everyday but I realize that my motives for making this decision was giving from God. In the past my decisions were made base on wants or poor reasoning. My reason to go to Maryland was, "just because." I never even allowed God to show me where I belonged because I only applied to three schools. I prayed for months asking for guidance in making one of the biggest decisions of my life thus far. After talking with numerous friends and of course with God, my decision seemed easy. I'm going to fully trust that God's in control so why worry?
The start has arrived and I'm eager to get things going and the end goal is my drive to focus and do well in school.
Then you will have success if you are careful to observe the decrees and laws that the LORD gave Moses for Israel. Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or discouraged.
1 Chronicles 22:13
So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.
Isaiah 41:10
