Frustration.

Nothing new here in Katie-world. Just more and more frustration.

I am SO THANKFUL for a full time job!! I got a job as a medical records representative. I am on day two of training, and it is exhausting. It's been a while since I've tried to cram this much info into my brain at one time. :)

However, somewhere inside there is still a disappointment that I don't have a career in the ministry. When I was younger, I feel as though I was always hearing preachers say, "The last thing I wanted to do was full time ministry, but God radically changed me and threw me into full time ministry" So, as I had a burning desire to do ministry, without "denying" my call, I never thought I would end up with a Bible/Theology degree and working an office job at the age of 23. I thought 23 would be the perfect age to be engulfed in youth ministry. I mean, afterall, I was actually PREPARED and had taken the right steps toward ministry! How would I not be in full time ministry in a church?!

Apparently God had a different plan in mind. I still have no idea what it is.

Meanwhile, I am working in three different ministries at my church. 1. I am teaching the youth Sunday School class. And I LOVE LOVE LOVE it. 2. I am a part of the Delta team. (a young adult ministry). I also LOVE this. I need the fellowship and I love love love getting to preach. 3. I am a part of the 'advisory council' for our church's other young adult ministry. I don't know how I feel about this yet. I'm not sure my vision for it lines up with the other people involved with this. I am leading this week, so we shall see!

I think that's about it for my life update. Thanks for reading.

  1. I so know how you feel about not knowing exactly what God's plan is when it all seems so clear to you. I'm just waiting for God's plan to get in line with mine!

    Hope you're doing well Katie. I miss seeing your smiling face :)
