I am defintely seeking God right now and am not even sure what I am asking Him for. I am overly frustrated with the slowness of obtaining my degree and also disheartened by my lack of income. I feel constantly overwhelmed by my inability to save and plan for my future beyond seminary. I have no direction in what I want to do. I just know I want to help people. I want to work with teenagers, children and families, but don't know how best to do that. I don't know if I should get a job I would love now. Continue to pursue my master's in counseling and try for a job later?
I recently began reading a book by D. Platt called Radical. It has changed my Christian view and my opinion of the American Dream. America's dream is so contradictory to the life Jesus called us to. I hope to explore God's call for me in this coming year and how most of the time His call is hard and crazy, but good.

Seminary, Sadness and Stress...Again
Listen to my instruction and be wise; do not ignore it. Blessed is the man who listens to me, watching daily at my doors, waiting at my doorway. For whoever finds me finds life and receives favor from the Lord. (Proverbs 8:32-35)
