Poly Sci Degree?!? How useful is that??

Absolutely none of these occupations sound even remotely intriguing to me...sad day...

I think I am experiencing a mid-life crisis at age 24. I have no idea what I am going to do with my life once I get back to what life is outside of Korea. I'm freaking out a bit. Today, I spent hours pouring over jobs online and simply was not excited about anything out there...I have ambition and dreams, but ... how to turn those into satisfying and supporting work? There is also this looming word hanging over my thoughts called "compromise..." Is compromise something I am going to have to do?!? Will I have to be satisfied just to have a job and not one that brings my passions to life or that really uses me as a servant to the Lord and the Body?

If anyone would like to fund my dream of being a bookstore owner, feel free. I will be saving for the rest of my life to possibly see it become a reality by the END of my life!

Floating Sleep

I have found that sleeping peacefully - for me - is a reflection of experiencing a peaceful day. If I end my waking day with anxiety, my sleep is usually anxious. If the day is consumed by unknowns, I can usually expect to find myself running around chasing after something completely unattainable. And when the day contains something fearful or scary, my dreams take on the shape of nightmares.

Sleep for me last night felt like floating on a cloud. It wasn't too deep of sleep, the kind that leaves you with a sleep hangover. It wasn't too lite. It was just right. I don't think I moved the entire night. The covers were half covering my face, the temperature wasn't too hot or too cold. I experienced my ideal sleep!! I woke up excited about the day and excited to go to school. I left early and went by the bakery across the street. I'm off to a running start today!

So, basic logic points to the premise that I must have experienced a really peaceful day yesterday. I DID!! A great guitar lesson with a great teacher, great conversation (with a handsome man), some yummy clam chowder (I now think clam chowder is yummy), a good and productive day at school, SPRING weather, skype calls, long emails from friends, and being in the presence and joy of JESUS!
