So I've made a very important decision this week. I’m not talking to anyone about what I’m doing next year. (With the exception of my family, who I haven't talked to about it yet.) Every year, I have kind of reached a point around April-ish where I just get tired of talking to people about what I’m thinking about doing the next year. Well... This year, I’ve reached that point as of Friday. Not only have I reached that point I’ve become down-right frustrated by people’s responses. I’m just tired of hearing: “You should do stay because blah, blah, blah” or “You should go home because blah, blah, blah” Now, no one actually says it that frankly so I apologize for the slight embellishment. But really that’s what all their “suggestions” and “advise” add up to. It just gets so hard to hear the Lord’s voice in the midst of well meaning people. I am fully aware of how long I’ve been a non-paid intern, away from my family, trying to do college at the same time. I am also fully aware of how much my manager wants me to stay and how much my department has come to value my “skills”. I know my objections to staying. I know my hesitations about leaving. What I’m not 100% sure on yet is exactly where the LORD wants me. So if anyone happens to read this... can you just pray that the Lord would give me clarity? That He would speak to me and guide me as He has my whole life... That’s what I need right now.... And if you have questions about what I’m thinking about next year go ahead and ask. But I reserve the right to decline to answer Ok. I’m done venting now. Thanks for listening...or reading as the case would be with a post... |
