oh life

you know what would be helplful when researching grad schools and internships? knowing what region of the country we might actually be living in in 3 or 4 years. it's so exciting that the hubs is in seminary. this transition has opened the door to so many new questions...what happens next? the thing about grad school is that pretty much any directing mfa program that is worth paying for is going to be very competitive and only lets in maybe 5 (usually more like 2 or 3) people every other year. the same with some of the internships that i'm interested in. ideally i could know how to prepare. grad programs and internships are looking for different things, and being a full-time teacher doesn't leave you much time for preparing for the future. so, what does this mean? this means that pay attention and spend energy first and foremost on today. then a little bit on tomorrow. then whatever time and energy i have left, i have to trust that the Lord who knows full well where He wants me to be will make sure i am getting the experiences i need to get there.the next 3 or 4 years of my life is not meant to be a guessing game. and odds are...they will be filled with a lot of things i never would have guessed or been able to prepare for myself anyways. He who issues the call is faithful to provide the means.
