This new season of my life has me feeling so bittersweet.
Bittersweet: adj
Describes a blend of emotions that are sweet but also tinged with sadness.
I just graduated with my Bachelors degree in business and I have mixed feelings about all of it. Scrolling through Facebook & LinkedIn feeds have me feeling some type of way. I’m constantly seeing my friends land a killer internship or job position for companies they have dreamt about working for after graduation. And, don’t get me wrong, I am SO excited for and proud of those individuals, but that is what my path would have been had God not called me to the World Race.
High school — College — Job
My whole life there has always been some sort of path that I’ve followed. I know everyone is different and everyone’s paths are not the same, but for as long as I can remember this is the idea I had of my future. To not be job hunting right now, is scary, I’m not going to lie. I just spent SO much TIME and MONEY on my education. And now? Now, I’m about to take a year off, and not make a single dollar the whole time? What about my degree?! What about my bills?! These are questions constantly running through my mind.
Most times, God’s plans completely wreck our plans. But that is because His plan is greater and He has more in mind for us. In this season of my life, I am constantly reminding myself of this. I look forward to saying YES to whatever He has planned for me next. The World Race will test me before, during and after, but I look forward to the challenges and growing in my faith. I know this is God’s plan for me and He will provide for me when I return.
