So many people wait and wait and wait to get their college degree, and I must say that I am no exception. Ever since that first college class (College Algebra, no less) at 16 years of age, I had been waiting for that day when I would be done with my education. Although during those first few years I didn't think too much about finishing, because it was so far in the future, as the years and semesters drug on, I became more and more ready to be done. To put Metro far from my mind, as well as my physical being. Amazingly, after six years in college, the day finally arrived. It was fitting that the day I would say goodbye to Metro was a cold, rainy day - and the graduation was outside. As I sat in my seat in the freezing cold, the realization that I was done did not really hit me. I don't know that it hit me for awhile. In fact, I don't suppose it hit me until I realized that with the passing of the educational torch, I must hoist a different torch - a vocational one.
Oh that great job hunt of post-graduation is on. Of course, I do have some jobs, but I need to find one that A) fits my schedule (a very difficult thing to do) and B) one that pays decently (which is difficult to find). As I peruse many job openings and such, I am afraid despair and overwhelmedness overcame me. And still overcome me. The sea of jobs is overpowering, and trying to find one that fits is incredibly difficult. I want to throw up my hands and say "Enough!" However, persevere I must. And so I have decided to give my despair and overwhelmedness to God, and trust that He will guide me to and provide a job for me. Because we serve an awesome God.
So I will continue to look and be faithful while I wait on my awesome God to show me the way!
