Wanting an Adventure
In college I read a book with my theatre teacher/mentor about a guy who was overweight and alone and bored with life. The book followed his journey to having a much more fulfilling life. Of course this dude was an author and had a lot more money then I can image so he did all kinds of awesome things I probably won't ever be able to afford to do. But the theme of the book was to make every day a story worth living. I am not overweight and I live with my parents so I'm not technically alone, but I am very bored with life like this author was. I gradated with a BM in Vocal Pedagogy and Performance with a minor in Theatre Arts. Yes, I do realize now that this is a 100% useless degree! I love music and theatre but as a Christian whose degree came from a little nobody college, there isn't a lot of opportunity or use for such a degree in the real world and not a lot of ministry opportunities for it in this area either. So what have I done with it? I have taught /am teaching voice lessons to a couple student. And I've...oh yeah, that's it. That is all I've done with my degree. I am a part time nanny for two families and although I sing to my kiddos I watch, that is the extent of my musical performance. I miss real performing and I miss ministering in music, but so far, no doors have opened and I'm not sure where to look for doors...or even if I should. I love the families I nanny for and when the time comes to leave them, I know I will cry uncontrollably for days because I love the kids like they were my own, but I often find myself feeling very unsatisfied with my life and like I am no longer in the place I am suppose to be. At this point I am wandering about clueless as to what my next step is. I have no leads and no idea what I even want to do (or what God wants). Although I believe God has a plan for me, at this point, He hasn't shown me what that is. Sooo I think best when I write so I had this unoriginal idea to blog about it. Guess this is post 1 in my search for adventure to make every day a story worth living.
