So I promised I would fill y'all in! So here is goes!
After getting married I moved to Knoxville where Jacob finished his Chemical Engineering degree and I worked to put food on the table! We thought that grad school was the next step for Jacob and so he applied ALL over the country....I guess grad school isn't what the Lord wanted us to do though! In the process of learning this I got accepted to nursing school to get my second degree. So for sure we thought we would go to Albany, NY and Jacob would just find a job while I went to school. We went up there a couple of weekends ago and looked around for apartments. I also met with a couple of people from the school. But...I've never wanted to be a nurse....not sure I want to do it. I'm just not excited about it. So now what?! Well that is a good question! If anyone has the answer let us know! Now Jacob is applying almost everywhere to find a job. Then hopefully I'll find school next fall where we move.....Pretty much we have no idea where we are going or what we are doing! All we know is our lease is up in less than 2 months and we have to be out of here! We just want to do what Heavenly Father wants us to do, but the problem is we aren't getting answers. Does that mean that we get to pick? Honestly this has been a stressful couple of months. I like planning ahead and know what is coming. I've been trying to have a good attitude, but honestly it is wearing out really quick now. Prayers would be awesome!
What a tough situation! I know what it is like to want to know what your near future has in store, but I've learned that the Lord provides. Keep praying, and then just jump and make a decision. The Lord will let you know if it is the right decision. And maybe, there isn't just one right one, maybe they could all be good for you! Good luck, we love you!
ReplyDeleteOh that is super stressful! :o/
ReplyDeleteThe only advice I could offer aside from prayer is to make a list of all possible options, even the ones you REALLY don't want to do... then pray about it. That really helped me with my "life after college" decision.
(for some reason this is only giving me the option to comment as my blog... so... yeah... this is Letitia Olson ;o)
That's exactly the same boat that J.J. and I have been in lately! Both of us gradate in December and we had no idea what we were going to do afterward. We fasted, prayed, went to the temple, prayed some more...everything that I'm sure you and Jacob are doing. As we thought about all of the different options, one of them just felt more right than the others, and then once we decided that, things started falling more in to place.
ReplyDeleteEverything will work out for you two. Just don't give up!
