What if our path looks different than we expect?

Originally appeared online in the teen series Trending -  December 17, 2024.

I thought I had my life planned out. By my senior year of high school, I knew where I was going to college, what I was going to study, and what I wanted to do with my life. 

I was confident that this was my path, and I was scared about what might happen if I strayed from it. 

As I settled into my dorm during move-in weekend at college, I suddenly felt unwell and incapable of doing anything. I realized that I needed to pray, which is what I do when I’m in a tough situation. Maybe I was just having a bad day, but it felt like it was something else, something deeper.
