frustrated

Mt. SAC closed(or maybe it filled up, I don't know) the ASL 4 class that worked with my schedule, and now the ASL structure class I was going to take is gone too!!! gahhhh! So now I'm enrolled at both Mt. SAC and Golden West college(for some reason they changed the timing of their ASL 4 class so that it does work.) but apparently won't be actually taking any classes as Mt. SAC and I haven't heard from GWC yet about my registration. Hopefully I can still take ASL 4 there. I don't know, but I'm getting really frustrated because I'm trying to make this work, and it's not, and had I known about the classes not being available at Mt. SAC I could have gone to Greece this summer! So now I'm not really sure what to do. I felt like this was where God was leading me, He gave me an interest in Sign Language, so I should pursue it right? Apparently He has other plans, but I'd really like to know what they are! I know I was not supposed to be at Northridge, and Mt. SAC seemed like the perfect alternative...the only other thing I can think of is that maybe I'm supposed to finish here in three years and then go back and work on ASL later, but I'm not sure I can handle the course load that would be required of me to finish in three years(total, 2 1/2 now) I'd have to have 18 units every semester, and granted, the hardest part would be the survey classes, which would be over next semester(or I guess the semester after now) I just don't want to put myself through that. I'm so confused and frustrated right now, I have no idea what to do.

Abbey, first of all, let me say, I am the epitome of the "I thought God was leading me one place and He wasn't" person. I mean, I'm enrolled in ECE classes, on the list for Respiratory Care, and yet recently God has opened doors for me to go to HIU as a Psych/Pre-Med major! I never thought that would happen! God works in wonderful and mysterious ways, and we don't always know what they are. It took me 2 1/2 YEARS after high school too finally have my eyes opened as to what God wanted me to do, and its not at all what I thought it would be! Sometimes it's the last thing you would think of doing, for one reason or another, but you have to be open to EVERY possibility. This includes ones that people in your life may not like, but if it's what GOD wants for you, then HE will open doors to make it happen. I dont know if this will work for you, but I sat in church one day listening to Bruce's sermon, and I prayed silently, "God, I am stuck, literally stuck. Help me figure out what You want me to do." That may help you, or whatever version of that you choose to do. My point is, open your heart to Him, Abbey, truly open your heart, and He WILL lead you.
