I became a Christian about 3 years ago. I was baptized and confirmed in an Episcopal Church. Ever since I have thought about why God brought me to the Episcopal Church.
Right now, I am trying to decide where I am going to go in life. I am in school now, disabled (I have OCD) and going for my Bachelors. I have a long way to go, but I figure if I am to choose my path in life, I should immerse myself in what will help me grow into that eventual choice.
The two things I want to do in life are either be a psychologist or a priest. Either way, I feel I will be in a position to help people and that's how i want to live my life.
I guess I don't know which path I should go on. Both can be very difficult. Getting into a good graduate school is not always easy, and there are many people out there trying to enter the priesthood. Who knows if I can be successful in either?
I'm 31 years old and I have a whopping 13 credit hours, so I am not in dire need of a choice right now. but I am the kind of person that when I want to do something, I want to do it right.
My own priest isn't the best at communicating these things to me. Is moving towards becoming a priest a realistic goal for me? I know so many people who have wanted to do it that I imagine it's a bit competitive.
I am not really asking for prayers, but for any thoughts on the pros and cons maybe. Perhaps I just had to say this and get this out of my head.
