Hi guys. I'm a 27-year-old guy who has been having problems. I am a Biology graduate last 2004 but I end up being a medical transcriptionist. However, after being an MT for 4 years now, I felt no sense of fulfillment at all. I was never truly happy. It is more like I am just pressured to take it since I've no time to be thinking about myself since I have my family's needs to take care of. I realized I really love a career in Biology. I wanted to take up a master's course to increase my chances of landing a research/lab position. Now is when the problem starts, every move I make away from an MT course, I always ending up getting offers for it. I'm getting tired and sick of trying to plan my life and praying to God, when all God does is pull me away from it. I don't really get it.
Does this mean, this career is not what God wants for me? If so, can't I at least appeal to that? I really love biological sciences and have always dreamed of becoming a researcher in the field. Is this really what reality is? If God does not want you to be there, then everything you would want to be or dream to be no matter how hard you try would never be true, is that how it really is?
Stepwisely, how do you know that God doesn't want you to take the jobs? I don't understand. If you are qualified for the jobs and you get offered them, take them. How can God say you can't, what's your sign of disapproval, what would be the penalty? Surely if you weren't meant to do it, the opportunities wouldn't come your way!
You need to ask yourself what do YOU want to do to make your life better, no God anywhere can answer this for you, YOU have to sort this one out yourself. YOU have one life, live it and make your own choices.
