Pondering
Here I am, as becoming usual with a head cold, sitting with my cohort getting my brain filled with amazing stuff about God and scripture and wonder. I keep wondering back to where God is taking me with all this. So I am going to indulge in speculation for a bit.
Possible clues:
This last summer "it was impressed upon me" (*smirk* I always think that term is soooo cheesy) to stop tagging "but I don't see myself as becoming a pastor" at the end of explanations as to why I am getting my MDiv.
I also realized that I love, and seem to be built for, preaching and or teach (with their slight differences).
I had to give a "homily" yesterday and I was the only one that went into full blown classroom like teaching and as I sat down two people said I need to get my PHD and teach at the seminary. which I think would be a blast, but at the same time have no idea what I would teach about.
Then, last night, it occurred to me as random thoughts floated through my head, that I could go back into Youth ministry and be a Youth Pastor. That feels both weird and natural and funky. Eh. Just not that interested, but would be better than working in retail or something in order to pay of the loans.
I still feel very planted in the community of Nevada County. That is where we are supposed to be.
Fortunately I have 18 more month to figure this out. *grin*
