Defining Moments
How I responded to discouragement
THE NOISE
Messages from Family:
You shouldn't go into something like that, you don't have the compassion for that type of work.
How I responded:
I hate this cliche, but "follow your heart" or "go with your gut". You have to live with the choices you make for the rest of your life - your nay-sayers don't. Do what you feel you are being called to do! If it's what you're supposed to be doing, it will work out!!
