I’m 27 years old.
I have a graduate degree.
I have been out of undergrad for 5 years. Yet, right now, I feel just like I did when I graduated college.

When I graduated in 2009, I had no idea where I wanted to go. I had (have?) an eclectic array of interests and abilities, some of which need to be refined, but such is life. I felt as if I could do anything I wanted, and that was scary. I didn’t have one clear cut option. I had several less-traveled paths from which to choose. Which, I suppose, should be freeing. If one doesn’t work out, there are always other options. And in a way, it is. It’s freeing to know that I can give my all to one way knowing that it isn’t the be all end all. However, it’s also terrifying because there is so much unknown.

As a Christian, I believe that God ordains my life. I believe he has a “plan”, but I don’t believe it is as specific as others do. I believe that God gives us good choices. He gives us several less-traveled paths and the knowledge that He goes before us AND comes behind us. In our good choices, there is also unknown, but that’s the thrill of the journey.
