Finding My Vocation . . .

A wise man once told me that "Your vocation is where your greatest joy meets the world's greatest need." I can say with a fair degree of certainty that he knows exactly what he's talking about.
I used to be the person that had her life planned out with a fair degree of certainty. This is what it was. Music education undergrad, find a fiancee, teachers college, get married by 25, have kids by thirty, and then go back and get my Masters in Divinity.
How quickly plans can change. Today I switched my major to music history and not music education. I am never going to teach in a classroom. I refuse. I'm also very indifferent to the whole finding a fiancee before I graduate situation. When God has found the right guy for me, he'll be a part of my life. And if kids are never a part of my life, I will be sad, but I think I'll be able to survive. I want to do my Masters in sacred music at Notre Dame now. That however, is solely in God's hands now. I have very little to do with it.
I've learned quite a few things today. In no particular order . .
1. The ground really is slippery when wet.
2. Heels are not a good idea in the winter.
3. I can get ready for semi casual in less then ten minutes when there is no one bothering me.
4. God laughs when you tell him your plans.
5. Friends are the ones who worry about you when you over committ yourself . . . again! But there also there to catch you when you fall.
6. Life never gives you more than you can handle.
7. I really need to learn how to say no!
8. Although I may never teach music in a classroom, I will be a music teacher for the rest of my life.
