Looking Forward

As I approach the need to get another job with the finalization of my degree, I find myself surrounded by my friends' success, and I am envious of their inspiration. Where James has African social justice, Z has his music, and Marcotte has inner-city youth education, and April has gerontological research, I do not feel I have a passion for any one particular topic, which proves problematic.

I was never one for "Crusin'" in a car, I always needed a destination to drive to. I feel as though I have the gas, an operational engine, four wheels, etc., but I don't have direction--and that is what I pray for: A job that keeps me entertained, but is not too stressful, challenging enough to keep me interested, but not so difficult to discourage me, I can see the fruits of my labor in a relatively short period of time, and that it pays for my (and my family's) life--but that's like saying "I want to drive somewhere with mountains", rather than a specific location; I don't know where to start.

And my lack of luster for my degree program doesn't help matters much for my morale either. Working for something that I'm not entirely convinced will forward my employment opportunities is VERY difficult to work towards. It is only on a leap of faith that I even justify finishing this degree.

So I work towards an occupational future unknown and uninspiring (at least at the moment). I am just going to apply to anything and everything I find, and just see where God points me. I guess that isall I can do at this point--I certainly do not have all the answers, that's obvious.
