This question haunts me.
It’s really cute when a 4 year-old isn’t so sure and gives
you that deer-in-the-headlights-look and then responds with something like ‘a
doctor who flies planes ... and Superman’.

Well, here I am a all grown up and I don’t know what’s going
on. These are big decisions people,
decisions I never really assumed I’d be making in quite this way or this soon or something. Do I start interviewing for these companies
back in New York or maybe I should apply for the auditing job in San Francisco,
or there is always Milwaukee. Yes – I
have to imagine my life in places I couldn’t even find on a map. Milwaukee, really?
Do I really want to work
for HP or General Mills? Private Sector? Public Sector? How do I feel
about some small government organization, or what about working for the Church,
or there is always consulting, oh gosh now we’re back to jobs in New York…
Maybe I’m really not ready for a big-girl job and need to do
another internship. Maybe I shouldn’t really give up on my original passion and I should
follow my love to London and work in a museum for a year.
Maybe I would hate it – then what?
Maybe I would love it – then what?
Maybe I would love it – then what?
Maybe I’ll get my doctorate… no, look at me – I’m
blogging to put off my homework as it is. I don’t think I want to start picking
options that require more homework. But on the other hand, I LOVE school.
Otherwise I probably wouldn’t have done it for 18 years.
Oh my, what’s a girl to do? I’m literally loosing sleep over
it… Ok, not just this, the piles of homework don’t help, but all in all I’m
starting to get really nervous about what I will be doing this time next year.
Don’t you hate it when you can’t tell the future?
Could
someone please just tell me what the right thing to do is?
Psalms 9:10 - And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee: for thou, Lord, hast not forsaken them that seek thee.
ReplyDeleteDon't worry. It'll work out. It was right at the time when I was in crisis mode that I got the call to come interview for a job as a computer teacher (me, teaching?? what?) And thought to myself that it would be a good job for a year until I had my degree. Guess what? This is my fourth year teaching. I would have never picked it for myself, but now I'm extremely grateful that the Lord put this opportunity in my life. I have the best job ever!
You can do it! I hope you get a job close to me. I will miss you too much anywhere else! But, if it works out then I'll have a reason to travel! Good luck, you're a rock star!
I was just going to tell you to go to London or New York, and I'll come visit you. Jessica's comment is far more profound. So listen to her...
ReplyDeleteThink back to a conversation you once had with a sobbing friend in a hotel pool. It all works out. God loves you. You will know what to do. Maybe you won't know today, but you will know soon enough. I know you know that. Love you Star!
I'm with jess and kamille. It will all work out. I vote you go big and go out of the state. Who knows what amazing things are out there. Not to say there aren't amazing oopportunities here. Having somehwere to visit is a plus. What is to be will be. Love you.
ReplyDeleteOn a side note. I think its funny we both just posted about life decisions....sounds like we need to have a life talk soon.
I am so lucky to have such spectacular friends. Thanks ladies, you're the best!
