Taking The First Step
After realizing where I’m standing, I need to know where I’m going.
At first I thought I would never be able to take the first step if I don’t figure out my direction. Left or Right? Straight or diagonal? Perhaps, maybe backwards?
In this past week, I began thinking and computing my plans after I graduate.
“OK, after I graduate, I’ll work in a big-school. Then after 1 year, I’ll go abroad. Then after three years, I’ll come back in my country and I’ll take up my master’s degree while working. Then, it may take me approximately 3-4 years to finish my master’s degree. Then, I’ll take over my mom’s school. … then.. I’ll get a boyfriend and get married.. I’ll have kids…. And.. etc etc..”
Phew!
It felt good and safe to have a road map for your life. Then, I told my friends about it and I got struck by a lightning when they said “Good! You know your goal!”.
No. I don’t.
I have a map. But I don’t know my destination. I don’t know the end point. And the worst thing is I didn’t know where to start. I thought I was about to get crazy just thinking about it!
I got caught by my professor daydreaming and she said “Theresa, are you with us now? It seems you’re preoccupied thinking about other things. (laugh)(laugh)”
That common classroom line from a common person in my life just gave me the answer I needed. God is so good! Amen to that!
The future is important but my focus should be right here and ‘now’. Or else, I won’t be able to get to the future that I want. Worrying to much of the details would just overwhelm me and I’ll end up getting nowhere.
I JUST HAVE TO KNOW MY STARTING POINT AND ENDPOINT.
And I think I figured it out already.
My starting point is MYSELFMEI- street.
My endpoint is Christ’s Dome.
And my route is through God’s Grace Highway.
AM I RIGHT or AM I RIGHT!
