Future

So I am in the middle of an intense research of college majors. Most of you know that I am a map guy. Every since I was little I have always had this interest in finding places and street arrangements. Most people think that puts me in the weirdo category. If you have known me long enough, I have been in that category a long time. Naturally, I want my college major to be in that category.
Throughout my high school life I have been bombarded with confusion on where my life should be going. Where does God want me to be? The future is always the hardest part. The unknown can be so exciting yet for people like me who don't know what exactly to do in the future it can be a little bit scary.
The truth is that in college I am looking for an affordable and excellent school that is not too close or too far away from home. That has a campus close to home and my brothers and sister's schools. It also, obviously, has to be able to academically serve my major. Right now I am looking at a major in cartography which according to many college search sites is actually a major. Cartography in the most general definition is the making and interpreting of maps (primarily making). It just seems like something I would enjoy.
My main point is what I realized today while at a prayer meeting. Due to snow, this prayer meeting was not very large. It just had me, my sister, two really cool people who happen to look like each other, and another cool person. This prayer meeting happens every week and is led by two of my friends (the really cool people I mentioned earlier). I am not sure what triggered it in my head--maybe the quick mention of college in the conversation. I am not afraid anymore. I am not going to hesitate to move forward out of fear. My future in a way is already decided. Wherever God leads me, whether to Flo Valley or to a university, I will praise His name. Whether in cartography or another major, I will praise his name. Just being around friends over the weekend and today has really made me thankful for all my friends and family and all the God has done in my life. My past and present situations were and are in God's hands. My future is in God's hands as well. I will not sit back lazily and mope about my situation. God has something waiting for me.
