Ahh, Sweet Dreams Are Made of These

"You comin' back to me
Is against the odds,
It's a chance I'll have to take.

Take a good look at me now..."

Why the sudden stroke of happiness?

Well, This week I called the Super Ass (I mean Assistant Super Intendent - a great guy by the way) back and gave my decision about teaching next year (see the previous post to the right -->). I said that it would be too much for me to handle at one time. I am really glad that I chose this path, because I'm sure I would have been miserable if I chose otherwise.

I wasn't sure at first if it was the right decision, because I thought I was being selfish to want to be free my last semester of college. I had a weird feeling about the decision and I wasn't sure until after I made it what that feeling is about.

The Director of Campus Ministry reassured me that by no means was I being selfish, because this may be the last chance I have to "let my hair down". I was glad to have her support, because as crass and stubborn as she can be, I value her opinion.

So anyway, this week I realized a possible reason for God to lead me this way. This past fall, I was too busy to be too involved in C! and Christian Awakening; this kind of sucked and I didn't want to have to sacrifice such an important part of my life again. I feel called to do something big this coming year that teaching would not have allowed me to do. But who knows, maybe teaching was the big thing. I am confident that I'm doing God's will though. A friend told me that you know you've made the right decision when you feel a load come off of your shoulders. I definitely feel that way.

Peace ~
