Hey friends!
So I know it's been a crazy long time since I've posted anything, and I apologize for that.
Honestly, I've found myself in a new season of life that I wasn't expecting to experience. I don't have a name for this season yet, but I just kind of feel like I'm in a limbo of sorts.
I'm desperately looking for a job, trying to find out "what I'm doing after college". And in the meantime, looking for a part-time seasonal job to fill the time that I'm not in class.
The weirdest part, for me, is that I'm in school still....but I don't feel like I'm in school. It kinda just feels like something I do in the afternoons.
Since I've been at UNT, my life has been full of group projects and exams and papers, but this final semester is so much easier than any other that I almost wish I was in more classes.....almost.
Now, when I think about finding a job after I graduate, I love the idea of finding something that is somehow related to my degree that I will receive in December (did I say that right??) I know that a crazy percentage of people don't get into a career in their actual field of study, and that's all well and good, but the thing is...I really love to write, and I love my creativity!
And I want to use what I love to serve God. I know that He is the One who gave me this love of words, so I want to use it for His glory.
I'm trying my best to trust that He has it all under control, but with December coming in like a freight train, I am starting to worry.
In the midst of my desperate attempts to stay calm and rest in this new season of life, however, I have been reminded again and again of His unending grace and love towards us.
I've been reminded that we aren't meant to go through this crazy thing called life alone. God puts people in our lives for reasons we sometimes never see, or we may witness them from the front row. He has given me so many great friends who speak truth into my life on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis.
Friends who encourage me to use this time to grow in Him, to stretch my faith even more and roll with the punches when I don't get the call from that one place I reallllllly wanted to work.
They remind me that I can't see the future so why worry over it? They remind me that I don't have things under control, but that He does and that's all that matters!
They say that the things that are meant to work out in life will, and if they don't, they weren't worth worrying about in the first place. They tell me that when I make decisions in life, I need to be faithful wherever I end up.
In all my rambling about school and work and friends, I really just wanted to use this post to be an encouragement to anyone else in my position, or anyone who can relate in any way.
Be faithful where you are; be willing to be led; don't worry about the future because you can't control it in any way; and find friends who will push you toward Christ when you're feeling lost.
Okay. I think this post is long enough.
Till next time!
Ry
