It's all downhill from here!

As of this morning, I sent out my support letters for the mission trip I'm going on this summer! It was a huge relief to get them all sent out, but now the hard part begins: waiting. I know that God will provide what I need and this is the only thing that keeps me from going absolutely crazy while waiting to see who will write me back. I'm so excited for this trip, I know that God has got something huge planned. I don't think we're going to see it coming either.

Some awesome stuff has happened in the past few days. I talked with my advisor last week and we came to a few conclusions

~I'm not going to change majors just yet (I was thinking about changing from English--Creative Writing to English--Composition)

~I'm going to finish the English core and then take a technical writing course in the Spring of 2012 to see  if I like it. If I like it, then I am going to switch to Composition. 

If I choose Composition...

I don't know where this leaves the whole creative writing thing, though. I still plan to write fiction but I don't know if I'll actually study it in college. Right now, the goal is to get a degree with which I can get a job doing something that I love to do. I love to write fiction, but it is rare to find a job where fiction pays the bills, even my adviser agreed. I will continue doing what I love to do while pursuing a more employable career. 

If I choose Creative Writing...

I don't know what kind of jobs are out there for folks with degrees in creative writing, but I guess if I choose this focus, I'll find out. :) Regardless of which focus I choose, God's got a plan and I'm praying for him to make my choices clear. Now is the time to trust him, not get flustered about the details of how or when. He will show me what to do when the time is perfect. He is perfect in all he does--

As for God, His way is perfect;
      The word of the Lord is proven;
      He is a shield to all who trust in Him.

2 Samuel 22:31
