Hey everyone! It's been a long time since I've posted anything here. A lot has gone on! I have a new nephew, Dan is home from school (for good), and I am about to make some big decisions. Talk about soon too! Next semester I have some school decisions to make. I need lots of prayer and wisdom, but I think that I know what will be the deciding factor, jobs. I need to decide whether or not I stay full fledged into a Bachelors degree or settle into a nice job (I had an orthodontist who had offered me a job a while back) and start making some money before Dan and I get married. Why I really prayed about this was because so many of my options just looked ugly. Each requiring a lot of driving and stretching my time in school out a lot longer. After a lot of thought my Dad told me something I kind of wanted to hear..."Is the Bachelor's program for you? It's something you have to think about."
I don't know if it is...I then started assessing my goals as a woman, and as a Christian. I want to work, marry Daniel, and quit working when I have kids. I always thought I HAD to get my Bachelor's degree, but my Dad (and anyone who knows him as he is will testify that he is hard to change) he is the one who seems to be the most helpful in this decision. Right now I lean toward finishing my degree, and taking my job opportunities as a hint from God. If I get that job at the orthodontist, I will be thrilled and take that as a little hint, but I will also have to continue researching my options.
Another problem with my degree I would face is the school system. The way I am hearing about things changing makes me not want to be part of the school system for long at all. There is no security in one of those jobs.
Please pray for me to stay open minded to God's will, whatever I may favor. I want His will. Right now, things are so unclear. As I come up on the Spring semester (the semester I graduate with my AA) I will need to make a decision. I love you all and thank you for your prayers!!!!!

I dont think you asked for opinions but here is mine...take the job at the orthodontist office:)I was in school when I got preggo with Hannah I went ahead and finished the year,it cost about 5,000 dollars.I had hannah and took my finals and graduated 10 days after her birth,had a job offer but my dream job was to be a stay at home mom.so i wasted 5k, because i will NEVER work a 8-5 job while i have kids at home.I couldnt figure out what you were going for...is it a job that you can work while your(future) kids sleep?
ReplyDeleteWell, I had been going to school to be a teacher. I will finish my AA next semester. I want to home school, and I feel like my AA has had the information I need for that and then some. You're right though, I have thought about the money thing.
ReplyDeleteIt's about time you posted ;) I'm praying for you girl, this is such a tough decision. I'm so glad Dad is letting it be your decision. I love you and miss you!
