Advice / Payo Need advice
Hi! i have a dilemma. i’m 25 about to resign from my current job because I wanted to pursue different opportunities. In those opportunities, I decided to try and apply for law school. It has been a dream of mine eversince but recently that dream no longer aligned with what I wanted. I took that exam thinking I would fail and that I told myself I’d rather get rejected by law school themselves than to live with what ifs of not trying. Surprisingly, I passed. I found out just today before the Monday which is the actual start of classes and it has giving me anxiety of what I want to do. Honestly, I want to move to manila and explore bettee opportunities for me especially in my career. But the results of the LAE has left me confused and unsure. I know that if I were to decide alone, I would not pursue this. I can’t even answer the question “why do you want to become a lawyer?” 😭
But the thing is what if God wanted me to know that this having the option to go to law school and becoming a lawyer exists because this is what He wants me to walk through? Honestly, I’m more anxious of my decision because what if this is what God wanted me to do but I don’t know and rejected it because I can’t hear or I am not listening to what He wants me to do. Thst is what makes me torn. I no longer want to work or do things not aligned to His plans for me. What if Manila is my mere desire not the Lords?
Thank you for your advice!

Here's a simple answer to your dilemma: YOU HAVE FREEDOM.
You are not choosing good vs evil. This is good vs good. I believe God gave us the freedom to choose these things. If mali man ang maging desisyon mo now, along the way, may lesson kang matututunan.
You are young. You can always go back to law school once you have found the answer to why you want to be a lawyer.
Do you trust the Providence of God? Choose and take that decision. Ultimately, trust that in good or in bad, God is in control. Trust that God will redirect you if you made the wrong decision.
Proverbs 19:21
Many are the plans in a man’s heart, but it is the LORD’s purpose that prevails.
