The Future...
Inspired by Blane's latest entry, I've been thinking about what I want in my future plans. So this is what I came up with. I'm going to go to St. Edward's to get my Bachelor's in Theology with a minor in Business Management. During the time that I'm at St. Ed's, I want to find an awesome Life Teen affiliated church that I can be a part of as a Core member. I really really want a job at Life Teen Inc., I've decided. I think in order to have a better chance at that though, I think I'll need to be a youth minister first at my own church. I eventually want to be like a Matt Smith/Mark Hart from Life Teen Inc. I want to be able to help put on conferences and give talks to teenagers from around the country. I just want to be able to help people. The only thing that's kind of conflicting me right now is between being a youth minister at a church and being to connect with the teens more one on one and watch them grow, or doing the national thing and being able to plant seeds in a more vast amount of teenagers. The only thing I think would be hard with the national thing is traveling and having a family. I don't think that they travel as much as I think they do, but I think that it would all work out so I'm not so worried about it. If I do decide that I want to do the Life Teen Inc. thing, that would mean moving to Mesa, Arizona where its headquarters are. I heard it gets pretty toasty down there, but that's ok. I mean, yeah, I'd be scared about moving somewhere that I won't know anybody, but I think I'd be accustomed to it from college. Somewhere in the mix of all of this, I want to find true love. Whether this be in the boyfriend I have or in someone I have yet to meet or in someone I would never expect, I want to get married, have kids, and not just be content, but elated to be where I am in life. In all that I do I wish to have my friends', my parents', and God's blessings.
