why, hello there!

Well, it's January. I'm amazed quite often at how quickly time passes as I'm getting further into adulthood. Okay, so I'm only 24, but sometimes I just feel old. Like having bought a house and looking for a full-time job, where I hear at each interview: "What are your long-term career goals?" and "Where do you see yourself in ____ years?" I don't think I've ever really had to think that far ahead, and now here I am, trying to answer that question with an acceptable response, and all I want to do is say, "I DON'T KNOW!"

I don't know what I want to spend my life doing, but I DO know that I want to be in a position where I feel valued, supported, and like I'm having a positive impact on others' lives. That's it.

Being in the "state of the unknown" is scary. Most days I wish I had a better sense of what I'd like to dedicate my life to, but it's moments like this one where I can just be... and then allow God to work. So often I find myself making my own plans without even consulting Him to see what He had in mind. But right now, I just wait. And someday (hopefully soon!) I'll see what He has in store.
