It would seem that I'm at it again, the time has come in my "adult" life to find yet another job. ugh. I truly hate job hunting and trying to figure out what to do with my life. The whole process of filling out application after application and writing the same thing many times is so tedious. I thought this was why the Resume existed?
Well the fact of the matter is that applications are a necessary part of life, growing up, and getting a job. I went from having no clue of where to go from the Ranch to have a number of options. I have applied for jobs in Oregon, North Carolina, Indiana, Maryland, Pennsylvania, and am looking to possibly apply for one in Korea and one in Ohio.
There are a couple that I already see as good possibilities for job offers which is exciting. The tough part for me is that even through this search I am somewhat clueless as to which direction I should head. I still don't know what I want to do with my life and most importantly, I don't know what the Lord wants out of my life right now. I want to go where He can use me best but I'm at a loss as to where that is. So as I go through application by application I am praying over them and trusting that doors will be shut and the right ones opened to make it clear where the Lord desires me next.
I have been so blessed by my time at the ranch with the many relationships that have been formed, the ones that have continued on from the summer, and the opportunity to learn from this community of people. A year ago, I never could have told you that I'd be sitting in Maryland right now and working at a Christian summer camp. I never could have told you that I would ride my first bull this past fall, or live on my own for the first time. I couldn't have imagined that I would have the friends that I do or be able to say I'd been at the same place for nearly 8 months. It's so easy to forget sometimes that I am not in control of my life, the Lord is. He has far grander plans for me then I could ever imagine and I'm so excited to see where this next year takes me, the people I get to meet, and the things I get to do.
