Life is not easy. It is hard work! As a grad student looking forward to graduation and "the real world" in just a few months, I am starting to get excited...and nervous.
I have already begun looking for jobs, and so far it is rather discouraging. Half the time I don't see any postings for the geographic locations I want, and the rest of the time the jobs I see are not up my alley in regards to expertise or interest. I am choosing to trust God that there is something out there for me and that I'm looking where He would have me be. It's hard.
There are so many different things to worry about, stress over, etc. in adult life. I have friends and family turning to me to share their concerns and trials, and while I love that I can serve them in that capacity, it is hard when they seem to all do it at the same time. I want to encourage them with God's promises, but I also need to strengthen myself by growing closer to Him first. He is my strenth; I hold on to Him in the midst of all my struggles. And I praise Him for all the blessings I DO have!
