So this is basically where I am in my life right now. This is where God sees fit for me to reside... in a state of "interim," in a transition from college to "real world," from girl to woman. 

It is strange. But it's where I'm living. 

I am a recent college graduate, with two degrees that did not come without its share of blood, sweat, and tears. 

I am 24 years old, and I am proud to say that I am one of the many Americans who have moved back home after college. Holler. 

I am unemployed, though partly by choice. I'm waiting for the "right" one to call.

I have no idea what I want to do with my life anymore. I used to have big plans, but they got lost somewhere along the way. 

Don't get me wrong- I'm not completely a bump on a log, letting life pass me by with no care. I still have a TON of things that I'd like to do someday, but I'm not sure where to start. I still want to use my social work training and the love and compassion in my heart to help whoever needs it. I still want to bring the love and joy of God into the lives of those whom the world have thrown away. 

I just don't know where or how to start. 

And I think that's ok. 

For now. 

I decided that I'm going to use this time of interim, this transition, the "temporary arrangement" in my life right now to let God to break and remold me, to guide and redirect me, to love and teach me. 

I'm going to enjoy the time I have to spend with my family. 

I'm going to look for jobs that I typically wouldn't have considered before. 

I'm going to keep my options open. 

I'm just going to live.
