Decisons, decisions...

Still struggling over what order to rank the residency programs in. I have a tenative order, but at any moment in the day I could talk myself into one program more than another and totally change the list. This week, as I have prayed over the situation, I have found more peace - in knowing that His purpose will prevail, whether it is my choice #1, 3 or 5. "Many are the plans in a man's heart, but it is the Lord's purpose that prevails" Pr 19:21.
I was reading a few chapters in Elizabeth Elliot's Passion and Purity today and these few sentances just stuck out and really spoke to me... "the heart set to do the Father's will need never fear defeat. His promises of guidance may be fully counted upon. Does it make sense to believe that the Shepherd would care less about getting His sheep where He wants them to go, than they care about getting there?"

I'm praying for you as you make your decisions about your rank list! He has the perfect plan for you & you will end up exactly where he wants you!
