Only 3 weeks, 1 essay, 1 tutorial paper and 2 journals to go until I finish my degree (after 10 years of part time study)!
The end of the road is within sight which is very exciting - however I'm feeling a little uneasy. The question on everyone's lips that I talk to is 'what are you going to do next?'
It is a question I've been asking myself also and to this point I'm still not sure. I'd appreciate your prayers (and revelation, if you have them) at the moment.
Not only does study finish for me in the next month but the grant that pays me a small wage to lead LivingRoom ends at the beginning of next year. So there are lots of unanswered questions buzzing in my mind - both personal ones of calling, vocation, career, finance etc - but also community ones of sustainability, future direction and how to measure what we're doing in terms of viability and success (what ever that might mean).
I've been investigating a few possibilities for what to do with my time from next month onwards (hopefully something that will enable some income) but to this point nothing solid or hopeful has emerged.
I'm open to and exploring lots of ideas including work in:
That sort of sounds like I'm fishing for a job. I'm not (although am always open to offers) - just thinking out loud and wanting to give some insight into my personal situation (in response to those who've observed a lack of that lately).
Times like these are exciting - bursting with potential - but also a little uneasy. I can't wait to see what the next chapter brings.
