Who knows what tomorrow will bring?

I've been thinking a lot about my future lately. To be honest, I have no idea what I am going to do when I graduate. I don't know where I am going to live, if I will continue on to grad school, or if I will go straight on to get a job. It's not the reason I'm going to Simpson, but a ring by spring sounds like a pretty good option. I just really don't know where I am being called. When I started at Simpson, I was planning on being a music teacher. Now, I'm not so sure. My major has been canceled, so I'm hoping that was a sign I was on the wrong path.

There are a couple things that I know. I want to get married. I've thought a lot about whether or not have been called to a life of being single, but I really don't think I am. I really want to be a mom. I want to take care of my family, and I want to find a man that I will spend the rest of my life with. I also want to be involved in ministry in some way, but I don't know how. Even if I am just highly involved in whatever church I end up at, I want to have that in my life. I love being involved at the Stirring, and I don't know if I can go back to just sitting in a chair again. I also want to travel. I want to see the world that God made. Whether I see the world just by traveling for pleasure or on missions trips, I definitely want to see all the different cultures and beautiful scenery around the world. Beyond all that, I am ok with whatever happens. I don't need a "career." I don't want a career. I want to have options in my life. I want to be able to have kids, and not worry about what that is going to do to my career. I want to be a teacher, a private voice teacher, or a massage therapist; or all three. Things that I can do on my own, and not have to work 40+ hours a week if I don't want to. I am ok with not having a lot of money, and that's not the reason to have a career. As long as I am happy and my family is provided for, that's all that matters. I know that God will provide the rest.
