In the past two weeks I've finished two more courses. I have one left to complete my B.A. in French. And that course is more than half done. Change is in the wind. I feel uncertain. What's next?
The routine of solitary study, of reading and essays is about to end. It's taken me a little longer than the three years I'd planned - by just a few months. I lost some time in this past tumultuous 18 months - family issues, moving, a wedding, and more. But I always returned to my desk and my computer, to a well-established routine.
Like the beach rocks in the photo, tumbled by the waves, life has a way of shaping human character. Rough and tumble, at times uncomfortable, but always with the hope of smoothing those sharp edges while preserving the essence of being. At least, I hope so. I don't know what beach, figuratively speaking, I'll be washing up on next.
Such an exciting time for you. The Lord has something in mind for you. Of that, I am certain. Wonder what it'll be...
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your uncertainties here and trusting God to lead you step by step to your next "beach".
ReplyDeleteWherever you end up, I know that you will be an asset - bringing order and grace and beauty to whatever/wherever.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful stone collection! It looks like we love the same.....

ReplyDeleteLorrie, you are to be congratulated on pursuing your degree and being disciplined enough to complete all but one course in three years. That's a wonderful accomplishment! I'm looking forward to seeing your picture in your grad cap and gown or perhaps
