Always Changing

Never in my life did I ever imagine that choosing what to do for your life could be so challenging. When I was younger, I would see young adults around me constantly changing their majors and their course of direction. I always wondered why. I thought that once I knew what I wanted to do I would stick with it . . . why would it be any other way? I have been having the hardest time knowing what to do, and I don't really want to say that I know for sure now, because I have learned that the road is not straight before you . . . you have to find your way with direction from God. However, I am now content in which direction I am going in . . . no doubts . . . for now.

I have decided that I am doing the right thing by taking this photography course. It is proving to be challenging, but everything in life that is worth anything will be challenging. But, I have also decided not to drop my writing dream. Before, I said that I didn't want to pursue it the same . . . like being a published writer, but I have come to terms that I still want to publish some day. Yesterday I counted and found that I have at least 41 poems . . . I'd say thats a pretty good start for a book. Of course they need lots of work, but I am prepared for that. I have also always wanted to write a fiction about the Holocaust . . . that piece of history has always captured my heart and mind . . . I could never put my mind around such cruelty. I have recently ordered a few books having to do with the Holocaust so that I can learn as much information about it as possible. In a few years, after much research, I hope to begin writing my book.

I do realize, though, that it can easily change again, but right now I am completely content and excited for I want to do in my life. Thanks to all those who have been such a great encouragement to me and never cease to pray for me!

  1. "But I have come to find that I don't need to be well-known in order to be somebody."...love that. I'm so excited for your book and so admire you for admitting you just want to take a different direction at this point in time and goin' for it. :) Looking forward to reading more about this book you have in the works!
