A year ago from today, I was considering doing some freelance work to earn extra pocket money and live life a little fuller. I had also made an unexpected decision to go back to the seminary (after graduation) to finish up my MDiv ~ having prayed much about my "post-graduation path". Just when I thought I was done with my MA in Christian Studies ~ to my half-amusement and half-dread, the clear message/call finally came 2 weeks before my graduation - to "...wake up, and strengthen the things that remain, which were about to die; for I have not found your deeds completed in the sight of My God..." (Rev 3:2) This verse, along with the whole of Rev 3, came to me 3 times before I was convinced. To cut the long story short, I am currently working on my MDiv. I hope to be done next year ~ and nobody can predict what will happen next year.
Today, I have a meaningful job (teaching children is one of the most meaningful jobs in the world, by the way). However, I have to consider something else too, because another call came just one week ago (yeah, right after I discovered my miscarriage - and no, I am not pregnant yet) ~ one that I can neither disclose nor respond to at the moment. I wonder what is God's will for me and what I should do about that call. It might mean resigning from my music-teaching job, middle of next year. (So thankful that my boss is so understanding and supportive ~ even while she is very reluctant to let me go!) We shall see. May God's will be done.
Life is short. I want to give my best and most youthful years to serving God (as well as the rest of my life, of course). Since this is the path He has led me to walk in, I pray that I would finish well - even when life is about cross-roads and feeling lost at every one. May God's grace be sufficient.
