The Conquering Graduate

Graduated, what a strange term to be able to apply to myself. I have been in school for the last 21 years and it is weird to realize that I am no longer a student. I have found myself doing alot of reflecting lately. It's interasting to look at where i have been, where I am right now and to look at a future with so many different optons and possabilities. It's pretty exciting when you think about it, and yet it is kind of scary as well because there are so many unkowns. Where am I going to find a job, where will I be living, how long will I be there? Will it be in Idaho, Oregon, California, etc? Who will I meet there? Will I like it there? So many questions and not a single answer yet.
Everyone wants to know, where to now? The answer is 'I don't know". I have some ideas about where I may go. There is always southern California, with sunshine, friends, the beach, and of course Disneyland. I would love to go back to the Newport Beach area. Perhaps I can make it my official vacation destination if I don't end up living there!
For the past year or so as I have began thinking of where I might go after graduation, i have thought alot about Oregon, a place I haven't been to since I was only two or three. I feel a draw to Oregon that I don't feel for other places and so the majority of my job hunting is focused on Oregon. It is interesting to feel like there is somewhere you need to be, but you just can't seem to figure out where exactly it is that you need to go. I have been feeling this way lately and I can't help but think that Oregon holds the key to answering the question of where and what I am meant to do next.
So I keep going forward one step at a time, trusting that God will guide me to where he wants me to be. It'll be intersting to see where I end up! And so we begin a new chapter in my life: Career Woman. I wonder what amazing adventures this new chapter will see me having!
