God's definitely telling you something when you think about an issue more than you've ever have and have two people (Godly cousel, actually) tell you the same thing about this issue. Continue to ponder, Gillian... It's probably time to really think about the future, what I want for myself and what He wants for me.
The most important right now's to focus on studies and learn to place Him in the centre of my life, learning to surrender, let go and let Him take the wheel. My desires are nothing when His ways and thoughts are higher than mine...
Thankful to have heard what I did and thought about, uhm, creatures I unfortunately and fortunately not know well yet just cause we're anatomically different
