Thoughts Amidst Moving

Everything is uprooted

when moving.

I really want to learn French;

I know this.

But I do not know to what end.

*

I have been thinking over the questions I had this summer.

The what do I want to do with my life?

questions.

**

I told my Mom today over the phone

that I am thinking of

applying

to academic programs

for English Lit

and that French would help me to this end.

PhDs need one or two languages.

French is a language.

***

So I told her,

I am going to try to learn French.

Take eight months intensive courses

apply to programs

see what happens.

At the same time French

can open doors to jobs

in government

and

in

libraries.

I am trying to be open to the varied

possibilities

that may become my life.

But the English Lit question

I now declare

is not

a

closed

finished

question.

****

I have questions about the 16th Century

that I want answered.

This century was a pivotal one for Western

society

and began much

that we are seeing

in fruition today,

good things

and

not so good things.

*****

These are some of my thoughts

amidst moving.

I pray that God will help me stay in the present

while seeking to discern

His will for my future.

Glory to God for all things.
