Wouldn’t you like to know?
I’ve got nothing. I have no timeline. No job. Not a whole lotttta money. But I have an open-mind and a Father that already has it all planned out for me.
I’ve been feeling like I have to come home from the race with a job lined up and have applied to many jobs already. I haven’t had a job for the past year, how can I afford to live a life in America that I once lived? (And continue paying my student loans back.) ((yikes)) (((I love you, mom and dad)))
But truthfully, I won’t be living the same life I left, nor do I want to.
Being home is going to look like me applying all the things I’ve learned and making my priorities A PRIORITY. I’m not the same person that left Michigan some 300 days ago. It’s going to take a minute for me to readjust to not being surrounded by Christ-loving humans 24/7. It’s going to take time for me to actually process what I experienced and saw the past year of my life.
But I am so expectant of God and what he has for my future.
Why should I rush out of one season just because I’m so excited for the next?
Yes, it would be a lot more comforting knowing I’m ending a season with the next one already starting, but it is absolutely not necessary. I trust God with my whole heart that He is working on the best job for me in an incredible city. I will continue to apply for jobs, but I’m not going to put the importance on it as I once was. The right job will come along at the right time. I don’t need to know when that’ll be. But I do know I want to enjoy every second of where I am right now.
All I know is I’ve got my room, WITH A REAL BED, in my parent’s basement, a car (with a probably) empty tank of gas), and food that will be on the table.
So, I don’t have an answer to this infamous question. And I can’t tell you when I will. But that’s the beauty of it all. I’ve learned to trust God in all aspects of my life. The future was one of the hardest because I like to plan and have things all laid out. God’s given me so much grace in this.
But right now, I love where I’m just as much as I love where I’ll be going.
Wherever you are and wherever you’re going, God is working through all the details. He will take care of you.
