A very important decision has to be made soon. I'm not sure how soon, but the time is creeping up, and it just might take me by surprise. You see, I have been applying for teaching positions all over Asia and the South Pacific -- everywhere from China to Saipan -- and miracle of all miracles, they have responded. Having job options is an unbelievable blessing, but also an unbelievable burden. I don't know what to do. Now that I have so many choices, I am worried that I won't make the right one. I am sure that wherever I go, I can make the best out of the situation, but I know I will be plagued with "what if" thoughts -- what if I went to another school in another country? What would it be like? What if I chose a different school? Would it alter life-changing decisions that I would have made at a different school?
I really should be happy -- if not humbled -- that I am given a choice of schools to teach at. But I am stressed out. There are pros and cons to each offered position. It is simply a matter of deciding which choice I can live with. I will be making my bed soon, and must lie in it.
I pray not for a bed of roses, but for a hammock that will sway in the wind and soften the blow of any storm.
In this case, follow the food. ;-)
ReplyDeleteAnywhere you go is going to be an incredible experience and opportunity. Prayfully consider where God is going to use you the best. His will and timing are perfect. I can't wait to see where He is going to lead you!
