Sorry I haven't checked in on you in a while...I'll do better! So much going on with you! Even though I have a difficult time understanding your potential plans (because your educational system is so different from ours) I want to tell you this. Who knows what God wants for you at this point? I've found, that the point He usually makes with me is to allow Him to have His hand in it. I tend to believe that He blessed us with talents and abilities that can be useful to the Kingdom....but will be worthless to Him if our focus is not on Christ. I would love to see your parents just allow you to investigate all of these avenues you are talking about...and just see where God leads. Maybe you can make a plea to them to that end? As far as your struggle goes (oh...that again! ha!), it sounds like you are doing wonderfully. Really! You are conflicted...yes...which is a good thing particularly at your age. This is the TIME when you get to figure all that out. The season of your life in which conflict seems to reign in all areas. This will make it even MORE of a blessing when God's plans are ultimately revealed and your path becomes more clear. Try...as much as you can....to continue to submit to and praise God THROUGH the conflict. "glory in tribulation" as Paul put it. Enough advice. I'm still praying for you and will continue...always, to do so! grace Rex,
