If __ = then x is.

I am studying for the GRE to take this Friday. I have decided that I feel the Lord's leading me to go back to school for a Masters in Social Work. I have felt called to hope to learn more to one day work more effectively with oppressed women in foster care or trafficked victims.

These have all been my plans. I have done what I can to apply and to do my part. But with any application - as a Christian, we must trust and believe God's the one that paves the way. I have done all I can do on my side. So now I just anxiously await the answer from the Lord that either confirms or changes these ideas into reality or merely ideas.

I think the most frustrating part about this is something I can recognize with studying for GRE math. I enjoy math when I am able to confirm without a doubt that an answer is 100% correct. I can test algebra equations input the quantity and find out that I am, right. 

In my life - it seems apparent things aren't always as simple. I can sit here and know I've done my side of the equation and the variable x is still unknown.

If I applied for Grad School; 
If I applied for an internship with IJM;                                = x
If I study for the GRE then 

I am unsettled because the equation is not settled. I am unsettled because I am sitting here wondering what the answer is. I can't do any math to find the answer. I can't use any formula to get the answer. But I must sit and wait on him to provide me with the answer.

Psalm 27:4

"Wait for the LORD; be strong and take heart and wait for the LORD."
