My Unexpected Journey: Why I Stopped Pursuing My Medical School Dream

In this conversation, I share another testimony about closed and open doors, highlighting the importance of trusting God no matter what. I recount a time when I quit my job to pursue medical school, however, through a series of unexpected events, including a job offer and the opportunity to care of my niece, I realized that God’s plan was different from what I had initially desired. I encourage everyone to trust in God’s higher ways and to be grateful for all the doors in your lives.
