What now?
Well.. Now that I have fallen in love with a culture, a place, a way of life, a country, a people, and a whole bunch of kids, I've realized a lot... I've realized that I don't think that what God has for my future is in this country. I guess I've always been real interested in international missions, but I've never really seriously considered this as a legitimate option for my life. But, being in Guatemala has definitely changed that. And I'm not sure how, but now I can't see myself doing anything different.
It's been a cool realization to come to, especially this semester. I'm taking a Social Work Settings class. In this class, we've traveled to 8 different social work settings, interviewed social workers, and toured the different facilities. So this has been interesting, and I've learned a lot about what I want to do, and what I don't want to do. But to be honest, none of these field trips has made the social worker in my more excited than traveling to Guatemala. Something inside me just knows that I don't belong working in the States. At least right after I graduate.
I guess this means a few things. I need to sit tight and be patient (which is so incredibly hard for me) and wait for God to open doors (or close them). I need to be praying about my future (for God to open/close doors).
Pretty much, I am so excited to start the rest of my life. I just need to remember that I am where I am for a reason.
