I tried to push forward with my plan to finish my courses and propose my dissertation before the end of the semester. Before long, I began to realize I couldn\u2019t do it all as I planned.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400\">I prayed.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;text-align: center\"><strong>A Difficult Decision<\/strong><\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400\">I was discouraged and wondered if pursuing my Ph.D. had been the right choice in the first place. I told God about all my problems and asked for wisdom and direction. The Holy Spirit reminded me of the ways God provided and opened doors in the past. Verses about God\u2019s good plans for our lives came to mind (Jeremiah 29:11; Philippians 1:6).<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400\">I conferred with my husband and Ph.D. advisors and made the difficult decision to postpone my proposal for a year. My family needed me. And as an applied researcher partnering with schools, I was very unlikely to find a site to conduct my study. Although discouraged and disappointed, the peace of God was with me.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;text-align: center\"><strong>Questioned My Plan Frequently<\/strong><\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400\">As the 2020-2021 academic year progressed, I developed my dissertation proposal. I planned to conduct my study in schools during the 2021-2022 academic year. I questioned my plan frequently and wondered if I would ever graduate.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400\">I also took many long walks \u2013 around my neighborhood, on campus, through city parks \u2013 and I prayed. I asked God for wisdom, direction, and provision. I asked for insight, especially if my dissertation was headed in the wrong direction and I needed to change my plans.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;text-align: center\"><strong>Make My Path Straight<\/strong><\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400\">An interesting thing happened on many of my walks. Time and time again my eyes would be drawn to a long, straight stretch of path ahead of me. Sometimes it was a long, straight sidewalk bordered by tress, or a long path that led to the edge of campus, or a road that continued in a straight line up many hills. These were all places I had walked and seen for years, but suddenly, they stood out to me.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Simultaneously, verses proclaiming God\u2019s ability to make our paths straight (Proverbs 3:6), to make new ways (Isaiah 43:19), and to light our path (Psalm 119:105) would come to mind.\u00a0<\/p><blockquote style=\"font-weight: 400\"><p>The Holy Spirit was reminding me that God always has things under control.<\/p><\/blockquote><p style=\"font-weight: 400;text-align: center\"><strong>Peace in Turbulent Times<\/strong><\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Through God\u2019s wisdom and provision, I partnered with a school in time to defend my dissertation in the spring of 2022. I started my faculty position that fall.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400\">I\u2019m learning that most endeavors don\u2019t go according to my plans. I\u2019m thankful for God\u2019s provision, wisdom, and faithfulness. Knowing that I can pray about any and every undertaking gives me encouragement and peace, especially in turbulent times.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section data-particle_enable=\"false\" data-particle-mobile-disabled=\"false\" class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-c412c84 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"c412c84\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-0eae0ce\" data-id=\"0eae0ce\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ec0f78e elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"ec0f78e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/campus.cru.org\/faculty\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/652\/2025\/10\/unnamed-2025-10-15T101453.367.jpg?w=612\" title=\"unnamed &#8211; 2025-10-15T101453.367\" alt=\"unnamed - 2025-10-15T101453.367\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-a010203\" data-id=\"a010203\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c6b315e elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"c6b315e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h4>\u00a0<\/h4><h4><strong>Kristen Rolf<\/strong><\/h4><h4>Special Education and<\/h4><h4>Rehabilitation Counseling<\/h4><h4>Utah State University<\/h4>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In March of 2020, I was over halfway through my final semester of coursework for a full-time, in-person doctoral program when COVID-19 changed everything.
