You've Got Mail
Some days it seems as though a whole new world is just at my fingertips...a world of opportunities, excitement, and beauty...however, today, as I was going about my continued job hunt and considering reading my books for class and looking over an application for an internship I have eagerly awaited...a quote from a movie came to mind:
Birdie Conrad: "You are daring to march into the unknown armed with...nothing."
Yes, as you figured, this is from the movie "You've Got Mail" and its when Kathleen Kelly closes her store and considers what else she may do, since that store is really all she has ever known. Sometimes I feel much the same way, I guess. Ever since I can remember, I've been put in charge of kids and teaching them...Sunday School, VBS, camps, missions, and finally as a certified teacher. However, in the past month, I followed through on my decision to walk away from that and imagine that there is something else out there that better fits with me. And many days as I look at the vast arena of options, I feel much like this quote...I'm not qualified to do anything else...unless passions count as a qualification. :) But hopefully some new doors are going to open up and God is going to usher me through them in His own way...to something unknown and a little scary to me now...but I'm sure will become "just right" eventually.

I am confident that you will find (through God's directing) the "right fit." Good for you for figuring out AND admitting that teaching is not it. I think I (along with many other Christians) do things because it is the "right" thing to do (teaching Sunday School, etc.) when, maybe, we should be serving in another capacity. Thanks for the fodder. I needed that.
