But I'...Aw, Megan, I'm sorry you've been in a funk! But I'm also so proud of you for trying to face the whole issue. For trying to make the decision about what is right for you. I have to admit that I'm one of those people who never really did...I just kept going with the flow. And it's not that I regret where I ended up, because I really, truly don't. But still sometimes little "what if?" thoughts pop into my head. I don't know, maybe that happens to everyone. Good luck, Megan. And I truly believe, if you follow your heart, it will be the right decision for you.Debihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15429881953804634592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1710818943922563736.post-84969614467002452152009-03-23T12:51:00.000-04:002009-03-23T12:51:00.000-04:00Forgot to add that I, too, followed the link to yo...Forgot to add that I, too, followed the link to your "stupid show."

Choices are very, very difficult....Crossroads time. Choices are very, very difficult. My daughter is a junior in college and professors are telling the seniors, especially, that the economy and job market are so bad they might as well go to grad school if they're thinking they want to. Fortunately, she's still got another year.<BR/><BR/>So maybe don't review -- enjoy reading instead! Here's one you might enjoy: "Flying Into the Sun" by Ginger Blymyer. There's <A HREF="http://www.flyingintothesun.com/" REL="nofollow"> spiritual growth</A> involved, as the heroine tells God her plan (and listens to the laughter, as the author puts it!). She finds, as you are, that life changes in ways you don't expect.<BR/>Good luck.Lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12553309379795237911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1710818943922563736.post-64607833496876914562009-03-23T10:26:00.000-04:002009-03-23T10:26:00.000-04:00I think the 20s, especially the early ones, are ju...I think the 20s, especially the early ones, are just supposed to be full of sucky decisions!

Do you follow the safe sure path or do you take a leap? Either way comes with risks, of course. I wish you all the best in whatever you decide to do. We'll be here to support you either way. :-)Literary Felinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13079276242303738719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1710818943922563736.post-24642221696455561882009-03-22T20:44:00.000-04:002009-03-22T20:44:00.000-04:00bermuda, it's definitely a tough time.

Everything looks so much clearer when you're looking back on it - it's that pesky future that's so often the problem!<BR/><BR/>Amy - Thanks. There's definitely something to be said for job security and health insurance and all that good stuff, but at the end of the day, I don't think I'm ready to stick with what I'm doing just to be "safe." I mean, nothing's really certain anyway, right, except God, so in the end I might not be able to count on the "safe" job either! I know there's good Christian fiction out there - I just need to go acquire it. I even had Becky of Becky's Book Reviews make me a list of her faves so I could find some good stuff! =)<BR/><BR/>Mariel - Thanks. It's a lot to ask of a person like me who has trouble deciding what to wear tomorrow to make a major life decision so when the time comes around to do so, I usually go a little nuts.

I've sort of been stuck in the same situation and now I'm regretting not forcing myself to move out of it earlier. Ah well. I hate that I long for job security, and yet nothing that seems to offer it seems very interesting.<BR/><BR/>On another note...there is some good Christian fiction out there...keep trying!Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02515314638093018928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1710818943922563736.post-9925838928896876402009-03-22T02:21:00.000-04:002009-03-22T02:21:00.000-04:00Nice to see a post from you!Those kind of decision...Nice to see a post from you!<BR/><BR/>Those kind of decisions are always hard because you can't see into the future to know how it's going to turn out!
