I visited three graduate schools during that time:
The Seattle School of Theology and Psychology in Seattle, WA
Western Seminary in Portland, OR
Regent College in Vancouver, BC
I got my Hunter Education License.
I took a risk and started dating a man who has been pursuing me.
I admitted to myself that I am an intellectual, that I love to learn.
I prayed.
I cried.
I prayed and cried.
I discovered that when Jesus tells us to not worry about tomorrow (Matthew 6:34), this command is for every single day, every season, including seasons of making life-altering decisions.
In other words, just because I have to make a decision about next year, this does not mean I get to worry, I have not found a loop-hole.
New International Version
Be at rest once more, O my soul, for the LORD has been good to you.
Be at rest once more, O my soul, for the LORD has been good to you.
New Living Translation
Let my soul be at rest again, for the LORD has been good to me.
Let my soul be at rest again, for the LORD has been good to me.
English Standard Version
Return, O my soul, to your rest; for the LORD has dealt bountifully with you.
Return, O my soul, to your rest; for the LORD has dealt bountifully with you.
Psalm 116:7
He is asking me to rest, even in this crazy season of my life.
Rest. My rational person laughs that this, but my heart knows I must trust Him.
