sometimes life isn't anything like we imagined as kids. when i was a child, i always thought i would meet my husband in high school (or at least college), we would get married the saturday after graduation, i would teach until I started popping out children, and we'd live happily ever after. this is not a joke. i seriously thought this. sure, some ideas changed a bit as I grew up; i wanted foster kids instead of my own, maybe i'd meet him a bit later... i can tell you one thing. i didn't think i'd be 23, single as a 90 calorie pack of fake oreos, and pondering what my career goals for the next 5 years are.
but lets just say God enjoys irony. I have no clue what i'm doing with my life. i am confident, however, that life is on the upswing. i'm growing up in the disappointments that i'm running into. not getting a job opens up the possibilities to send your resume to geoff hobsen with the hope that you might write for bengals.com someday. not getting the job opens up finding a different job in lexington and watching the community change in that way.
i'm not sure i could, in one day, fully flush out all of the opportunities that are now available because i didn't get a job i wanted. funny, that for as many times as i flippantly say it, the Lord truly is sovereign. and as i wrote in my first post, He has always given me everything i need exactly when i need it, even if i don't want it.
