For some context, I want to study music performance or double performance with music recording technology (MRT) depending on the school I attend. Back when I was 9 God told me that I am going to be His musician. I am musically gifted. I sing, play drums (and other percussion instruments) and piano. I'm actually the keyboard player at my church and fill in on drumset when our main guy isn't there. I LOOOOOVE IT!
But when I told my parents I want to major in music (major instrument voice, minor piano) in college they basically told me no, at first. Now, since the deadline for enrollment is getting much closer (less than 2 weeks away!) they told me to simply ask God what college to go to and what to major in. But what if He tells me to do something outside of music? I like writing and public speaking so communications or journalism isn't bad. I'm not a STEM person at all. I know God has already created a plan for all our lives, and it is perfect, but I'm afraid I'll be devastated if he tells me not to do music. I'm not really interested in anything else career-wise so I'm scared He's gonna tell me to do something that I'm not interested in. Now, I doubt he'd make me do like engineering or some mathy major since I don't like math, but it still lingers in the back of my mind.
