My life is supposed to be figured out?

Aug 04, 2009 00:08

Wow, I can't believe I actually graduate this month!  There have been so many thoughts running through my head the past couple of months, mainly along the lines of: What am I going to do after I graduate?  Should I move back home?  Should I do an ABSN program or get a MPH? Usually these thoughts are running through my head multiple times a day, sometimes so much that my mind goes in a frenzy and it's hard for me to sleep.  I know some of my friends have been enjoying the time they have off, not worrying about things and just taking it day-by-day. I, on the other hand, do not think that way.  I am an ISFJ.  I need to know things way in advance.  I need to know where my life will be headed.  I need to know so people stop asking me "So, what are you going to do now?"

I need alot of things.  But most of all, I need God.  It's so easy for me to get my head wrapped about the "whats" and "ifs" of my future, to get carried away by what society tells us to.  Go to school, get a job, and work hard so you can gain your 401k and have a nice retirement plan for your kids.

Honestly, I need to keep slapping myself in the face to remind myself that I am blessed.  Blessed to have parents that still support me while I'm still down here, blessed to have clothes on my back, blessed to have wondeful friends and a crazy dog, and blessed to even have the opportunity to go to school and attend a university.

The past few months have been very trying times for me and I'm not sure if I've ever had to depend on God so much before (though I should always anyways), but I know that God is faithful and He will provide.
