Wanted: A Path to Follow

For quite a while my heart has been aching trying to decide the path I am going to follow for my life. I have so many ideas, and I just can't point to one thing and say that is what I want to do for the rest of my life. It scares me to death not knowing; I have never been more scared in my life! I am now in my sophomore year, and I have make that decision soon. I don't have many general ed classes left to take. Here are a few of the many options that I have considered (in no specific order):
Pharmacy w/ a major in Health Care Admin
Pharmacy alone
Health Care Admin alone
Accounting
Web design
Civil Engineering
Computer Science
Teacher of History
Teacher of Math
Police Officer
Pilot
Marketing/PR
The Air Force
Journalism
Ministry
And much more!
There are so many options; I just don't know where to go. I know one thing though: I want to go in whatever direction that God wants me to go. I want to follow Him for the rest of my life; I pray and cry out to my Savior everyday to clearly show me that direction and to give me the desire and strength to follow His lead. The only problem is that I still don't know what direction God wants me to take. I am so scared without the security of knowing where I am going in life. God has given me one shimmer of hope. He tells us in Psalm 40:
"I waited patiently for the Lord; and he inclined unto me, and heard my cry. He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings."
That is the only hope that I have right now, and I cling onto it with all my soul! Please keep me in your prayers and thoughts; I want to follow God throughout my life. I just need to see God's revelation of what that path is; please help in prayer that I will clearly see that path soon and that I will follow Him with all my strength.
