Okay, so it's a good thing that this is digital media and only collects digital dust. If this were on the bookshelf I'd be sneezing right now trying to open it and write in it.
I'm finding myself at an interesting place at the start of this year. I'm finding myself being fairly introspective in the realm of my job. I'm reading this book that's really interesting (it's called "48 Days to the Work You Love") and wondering what my ideal job and career situation looks like. Now this is a little more complicated than it used to be because now I'm married (!) and have to think very long-term about how work fits into my life anymore. I have to figure out how working fits with a future family and how graduate school for both David (hubby) and I both get to happen.
For those who don't know, David is currently working on his Master's degree in music performance. So for now I'm the one bringing home the bacon. Don't get me wrong, I don't hate my job. I'm just wondering if there's some way I can do things I love and make all the monies. Long-term I think that's an excellent goal. But all of my crochet prowess times three isn't going to bring home as much bacon as I already do.
Also, I'm not saying that I'm giving up on my dream counselor position. I still have a heart for people who are in relationships (pre-dating, dating, courting, engagement, marriage) and still think that I can help. But let me be real for a second...there's a lot about that thought that intimidates me. How do I know what's best for people? Plus, there are a lot of situations that, at this point in time, I have no idea how to deal with. I know that's what further education is for, but still, these types of thoughts haunt me.
Anyway, this blog is supposed to be about what God is teaching me, right? Well, yeah. I don't know that I have any specific thing to say except that I know He has it all figured out. He's given me abilities and passions for a reason. I would guess that reason is that He expects me to use them.
If anyone sees a job listing for a singing, tap dancing, crocheting pre-marital counselor let me know. I'd be willing to give it a shot.
Thanks for reading!
