Why does life throw you curve balls? Why are there challenges that knock you down and expect you to get back up just so they can knock you down again?
I have been wrestling with these questions for a while now when it comes to life… specifically love interests and work. I have 2 great jobs that are both rewarding and really hard at times. I am a modern worship director and get to plan and lead worship on a regular basis, which is a wonderful opportunity and carries a great deal of responsibility. I have to dress appropriate, watch what I do during church and what I say, I guess it is good that I need to do this because it is teaching what it means to truly live above reproach.
My other job is working as a counselor at a day camp. It is a lot of fun as well but is really challenging because sometimes the kids I work with really annoy me. I also have a lot of other responsibilities there as I am in charge of the afternoon PE program and in charge of every piece of equipment (whether mobile or a jolly jump).
I love both of my jobs but I also look forward to any and every moment I get to relax, which doesn’t seem like much time all.
I think I am also going through a withdrawal of not having to go to school. I mean I love being done it just feels weird that I am done. I mean it took me 10 years (off and on) and now that it is over it is just strange. Maybe it was because it took a third of my life to this point.
Love interests are another story… now that I am done with school I have time that I can devote to a relationship but the problem is in my social circles there aren’t many girls that are my age that I am interested in, in fact there are only a few. I have joined eharmony and match.com in order to open up my options. The way I figure it is that even if I don’t meet the love of my life on these websites I can certainly learn more about myself and develop the skill of communicating through email and expressing myself better through writing.
I am hopeful that I will meet someone soon but I am putting my trust in God that he will reveal that person when the time is right. I don’t know maybe I have already come across that person it just wasn’t the right time for either of us.
