It started a week after summer school ended. I moved into my new appartment, this time with Christian sisters. That has been wonderful and God has really been showing me how to live in a Christian community. School year- I've been able to get into some pretty rockin' classes and I'll finish my Spanish minor this quarter. I can't believe how quickly the time is going by. This week is 5th week-aka midterms. That's why I'm spending my time here blogging. Thoughts for after graduation- I recently met up with some people from an organization I was thinking about joining after graduation. After hearing all the hoops I would have to jump through and the commitment it would take for the next years of my life, I realized that I wasn't sure that was the organization for me. It's really weird because I'd been considering joining this group for the past 5 years or so of my life. Now, I don't know what I want to do after graduation. Maybe travel to Brazil and teach English for a few months-get my head clear and figure out this thing called life. That seems to be a possibility. Normally, I make plans and I have a strategy to accomplish what I think is best. And right now, I have no plans, only possibilities. Life is full of possibilities although not all of those are the best possibilities. If only there was an arrow or a dream that would tell me what I will be doing in the future, then.....I would be happy, content, persistent, faithful, hopeful, at peace.....etc. It's not true that all these states of being depend on me knowing what will happen in several months from now. Only God can truly satisfy and calm my soul from all the anxieties that I feel right now. I'm not sure if this sort of waiting and guessing happens with other seniors as well, but one thing I am sure of is that God has me here right now for a reason, in the classes I'm in for a reason, and he wants me to finish (with His help) what he has called me to do. Saying all that I'll now go and finish some homework.  |
