Sunday jan 31

So yesterday went pretty well. I got home from my trainer ride at my coach's house and then I rushed home, took a shower, ate, and drove to my cousin's birthday party, all in under an hour!







When I got there, my sister wasn't feeling too well, so we left about an hour after, which I was kinda happy about, because it was so loud there!







I had a good night yesterday though, my sister and I were home and my parents went out to a party. We just relaxed and watched TV, I read your lovely blog entries :] and I made us some dinner. I don't have a pic of that because my omelet turned out pretty ugly. I flipped it upside down when I put it on my plate :( So I did get a picture of my snack though ;] I had some fage with a mixture of raisins, soy nuts, pumpkin seeds, and granola. I got a pic with a real camera this time! so it looks a lot better ;] I was too lazy to get a new bowl but I got a cute little spoon!







And I snapped a picture of my nut cracker because it is so funny looking. My family says it looks like a torture device ;)

This morning we went to church, and It was such a great eye opening service for me. We talked about god's plan for our lives, and how it may not always be the same plan we have for ourselves. We looked mostly at 2 Samuel 7:18-28

"Then King David went in and sat before the Lord and prayed,
“Who am I, O Sovereign Lord, and what is my family, that you have brought me this far? 19 And now, Sovereign Lord, in addition to everything else, you speak of giving your servant a lasting dynasty! Do you deal with everyone this way, O Sovereign Lord?[c] 20 “What more can I say to you? You know what your servant is really like, Sovereign Lord. 21 Because of your promise and according to your will, you have done all these great things and have made them known to your servant."

This really hit me because I have been worrying about what I want to do with my life as far as careers go. I have been bouncing between the idea of being an engineer, and possibly something in the medical field. I recently got the idea that I may want to be a psychiatrist, or psychologist. I find it so interesting how the mind works, and I am so thankful of what my psychiatrist did for me.

After today's service, I really feel as though god is leading me towards something in the psychology field, and that is why I suffered through my ED. I feel like that is what made me have an interest in this field, and that ED has made me more able to connect with other sufferers. I feel like this would be a very rewarding career because of how many people I would be able to help.

The only thing holding me back is that I want to live in Europe later in life, and engineering seems like the perfect opportunity for that, but I really feel called to work as a psychiatrist.

So I guess this service gave me more questions than answers, but I feel like that is a good thing, so I can think about it and make a better decision.

Hope you are all having a wonderful Saturday!
