The last three months has been led to possibly the largest period of self-discovery since the, ‘I’m entirely too obsessed with hostess cupcakes that are in the freezer,” era.
I’m taking on a Youth Director position as a weekend gig for a church in Savage and today? I filled out my application for Bethel College. (Organizational Leadership.)
If you asked me four months ago, could I imagine myself holding down two executive jobs and going back to school- I might have Tonya Harding’ed your kneecaps. (Just the thought of school made me contemplate becoming a fast food cashier.)
I think it’s like the right spouse – when you meet him, they say you know. When I realized what I actually wanted to do for this period of my existance? It was a mixture of love at first site, meets butterflies and a sprinkle of self-awarness and enlightenment on top. A perfect recipe for my future. I get up everyday and although I still push ‘sleep’ on my alarm, (about five times,) I stroll into work and immediately get excited. I’ve led three successful workshops so far, (with a fantastic sidekick,) and in two weeks I’m attending a training course for a job-specific course I’ll be leading solo, for the remainder of the year.
I think of what I used to do, (at the bloody, happy, kingdom,) and I remember the entire disconnect I felt with my position. I wasn’t seeing the value of myself in my work, or in completed projects.
I’m late to the game- others did it all correctly to begin with- but? I needed the detour- (About ten years,) to bring me Ava, insight and an obnoxious amount of metaphors to entertain you. See?
Meant to be.
