Planning

I am a planner. When I was little, I used to write out lists. Lists for vacations. Lists for summer. Lists for school. (and i'd draw little pictures of everything on my list. I know. I was a cool kid.)


Today starts a new "season" for me as I start applying for jobs. I've put it off, I have. I wanted to wait to recuperate from student teaching - see if any feelings changed with time. Take a vacation. And I did, and now I'm here. I feel a huge mixture of feelings about it, and honestly have no clue what to do.


And so here I am. A planner with not much to plan. A girl who clings to the "known" for her sanity waltzing off into the unknown. It would be easy for me to pick a path and say "go" - but I want to be careful. I'm praying for God's direction and guidance. For a sense of peace when the right thing comes along. For the right opportunities to present themselves as I begin searching.


So here we go.
