Here we go
It's been kind of scary the past few months.
I think I've overcommitted.
I can't seem to figure out what I want to do with my life.
I can't seem to find a job either.
Actually, I can't seem to find the time to even apply for jobs.
But I also can't find jobs that I want.
A lot of them are gone
. Boo to the economy.
Where to go after college?
Learning to half sleep half write.
Sleep at any time of the day and work at odd hours.It's so weird thinking that we have to move on to the next stage of life soon. Adulthood?
I'm not even a senior yet, but this totally preprofessional environment makes me think that if I don't have an internship, then I'll never get hired at the best places.That's where my thinking goes wrong. Why the best places?
Why do we want to go to the best places? This place seems like... perfectionist's paradise. They're all over the place. At the same time, perfect can't go against perfect. There's no room for too many perfect people! Anyway, this place isn't perfect either. Nothing's perfect.I don't know because I'm too lazy to dig through my old entries (they embarass me), but I think that I probably felt the same way during high school when i was applying to colleges. Worrying for no reason. Here we are again, except this time, I'm in college and it kind of seems like this next step defines the next 10 years of my life. It's true. Your first job matters.
Yet... God provides. He loves. He cares. He knows
.
And just because of that, even with uncertainties in my mind and the exhaustion plaguing my body, I'm all of a sudden content.Why worry about how much $ I'll make and sleep I get?
He provides.Why feel so alone and unwanted, especially by the workforce?
He loves.Why think that the whole world is too busy and too selfish to care about others?
He cares.Why worry about not knowing my future plans and my life?
He knows.Wow
.
Just like that.I'm set for life.

this is so true. we are loved by an amazing gracious God. you said everything perfectly. sweet, amazing grace.
g2g! (Glory to God!)
Don't worry so much. You still have over a year to go before you graduate from college. The economy will get better for sure and you will get that perfect job. Also, God will always be on your side guiding and protecting you through these trying and uncertain times.
Hey Young.. I'm proud of you man.. choosing which ever path you may go isn't a easy one. each decision can lead to some kind of hardship and or failure.. and failure can often be the best teacher.. Do the best that you can, with the time that you have (not just in college but in life).. depend on God though the thick and the thin and you will find that you wont have any regrets.. Love you man..
it is impossible to get a job theses days. a lot of my high school friends got laid off their part-time jobs because their high schoolers.but dnt worry too much, God have a plan for u nd u well find a job =] who cares if it's not the perfect one? as long as ur making enough money to live and happy dats all dat counts =]]
hang in there nd take it easy ok? =]
you know how you mentioned about how you probably had this type of worry in a past blog, but in high school? thats how i was feeling just a second ago. "what should i major in? will i graduate from college on time? where should i even GO to college? will i grow into the person that God wants me to be in this college?"
its nice being reminded that God does provide and we have nothing to worry about. reminds me of my life verse: Jeremiah 29:11. good post.
hey Young!! I seriously don't worry about you at all, especially since you have your faith. I'm sure God will guide you the right way. I know that everything will work out for you and God will definitely use you for his glory =)
