Making decisions is just so hard. I decided yesterday that I was just going to move back to Virginia. I hadn't heard anything about any jobs, and I think I may have found a sub-leaser and after talking to my whole family in Virginia I decided moving home for a while sounded great.
Then today I got a call from Discovery Cove! Well of course! Mind you, I have not been offered the job, I am swim testing next Monday, but now it is very likely I will be offered a position there. I have been praying about seminary and asking others for advice and I am not convinced RTS Orlando is the seminary for me. I think it is a great seminary and I do not doubt I would learn a ton there, but they do not have a missions degree. I have been encouraged to spend some time on the field first and then go to seminary. That does sound like a wise plan.
The 2 reasons for me to stay in Orlando are all the wonderful people I know and seminary. But my reason for moving to Virginia is my whole family now lives there. My brother and sister-in-law moved there recently and my aunt, uncle and cousins are in northern VA. So that is a huge draw for me to come home.
I think being happy with what you are doing is so important. I don't want to "work to live" I want to just live life and enjoy it! Money isn't important (I know my parents would love for me to support myself and I do agree:)), but I don't want to get some job just to make ends meat. So I have tons of thoughts going through my mind. I thought God was going to give me one clear path, but He certainly has other ideas. I am such a mess.
Do y'all have any input? I would love to hear it!

Pamela! I'll be praying for you as you make those tough decisions. My advice is exactly what you have been doing in seeking people's advice and praying. I don't know what kind of job you could find in Virginia, but if you've found someone to sub-lease your house, and with so many doubts about RTS I would say think seriously about returning to Virginia. Although I would say try to find a job there... I don't know how easy that would be, but that would be good too. Lets talk soon! I loved having breakfast with you Saturday!
Choices...choices...choices. One thing I know for sure - God opens and closes doors as He would have you go. Go where He leads.
Pamela,
Tough, huh? I would love to talk to you in person. Come on over or give me a call!! I am praying for you.
