Trust and Understanding.

Proverbs 3:5-6: Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.

What does this look like? I keep thinking my path is straight, but sometimes I don't know. Right now, I am frustrated with life because I can't do all the things I want to. I blame my job on that. And then I get frustrated because I can't find another one. And then I think I should go back to school for something else, but then the five years I spent at GV would be a complete waste. Which is depressing considering the amount of money I'm paying back right now because of it. THEN I blame myself for not listening to God before I went to school. It's a vicious cycle.

Right now, I think I do want to go back to school. I either want to pursue my Masters (b/c my supervisor at work keeps telling me how great of a writer I am) or I want to get certified as a veterinary technician. I would love to work at an animal hospital or humane society. Be on animal cops Detroit, lol.

But then I go back to the question: Is this what God wants for me in my life? I need to do what Proverbs says. I do. But sometimes I don't know how.
