Eanie, Meanie, Minie, Moe...

I'm taking a break from unpacking all of my camp gear and junk. First, I've learned I don't like to throw away anything. I believe I've gained this wonderful habit from my grandmother. There's just a little part of me that cringes every time I throw away a note or a pack of water balloons. I know, I know... I'm a little out of control, but I guess that's just me.

I'm starting my last semester of my college career in a little over a week. I'm enrolled in 12 hours (which is the smallest I've ever had in one semester at OC), but 3 hours I've already taken I'm just enrolled in the course so that I'm not a part-time student. So basically, I have 3 3-hour courses on Tuesday and Thursday giving me the chance to find a full or part-time job to save up some money for when I graduate. What am I doing after graduation? Wow... good question. I don't even know the answer. I have a few options to explore, though:

1. HIM program: 2 year commitment to work with missionaries in another country. I'd train in the Spring in Edmond, then possibly leave May, mid-summer or August.
2. Move to Lubbock, Grand Prairie, or Abilene and find a full-time job until the summer or fall.
3. Enroll in a spanish course at a university in Monterrey, Mexico. To prepare me for teaching Spanish in the middle school level.
4. Be a bum...


Haha, ok that last option doesn't ever happen. Anyway, over the next month or so I'm going to be making some important decisions for my life. I'm praying hard that I will allow God to lead me to the right place, however, I'm one that believes that God gives us choice and then will work through us in whatever we choose. Usually, I hate making choices, and I'll make a decision based on a coin-toss. I'll just close my eyes and whatever I point at, that's what I'll do. Not so with this... however, as scary as it is to think about, I'm going to try and enjoy myself for a little while before I begin to choose. Because just thinking about it stresses me out too much. For example, I'm already stressing out about it now...
