I really have no idea what is involved in making this kind of decision. It seems like there are a lot of things to consider and decide..such as where to live (the biggest thing that has been in the back of my mind), and how to pick just one job and turn down the others. I'm pretty free to go wherever, which rocks because I have been able to apply to a bunch of schools. But I think that applying anywhere and everywhere has made things a little more difficult to decide because I haven't really stopped to think about what kind of community I would really want to teach in and live. And..while I'm SUPER thankful for the chance to have a few interviews scheduled, I just feel like things are really spread out and I don't really know how to make a wise decision.
I guess this will be a good lesson for me in making decisions..
And, it will probably be an even better lesson in learning to rest in knowing that God has good plans for me and He already knows all that will happen. I think that fact is something that I know, without a doubt, to be true in my head. Now I just need to convince my heart of that and let it be.
Jeremiah 29:11-13
11 For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. 12 Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. 13 You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.
Isaiah 55:8-9
8 "For my thoughts are not your thoughts,
neither are your ways my ways,"
declares the LORD.
9 "As the heavens are higher than the earth,
so are my ways higher than your ways
and my thoughts than your thoughts.
Proverbs 16:9
9 In his heart a man plans his course,
but the LORD determines his steps.
