Confused and counting

It seems almost silly to be worrying about my future so much, but I can't help it. There is so much I am interested in, and I don't know what path to take. I guess all I can do is hand it over to God, but it's so hard to just let go. It's like relinquishing control over you life.

There are several different areas that I'm interested in.  I'm interested in theatre, in music, and in writing.  I don't know what way to pursue.  In one way I fee really  drawn to music, but in the other way, everyone expects me to do it, so I feel pressured sometime.  Like when I was circling career choices on a web the other day in class, somebody looked at it and said "I thought all yours would be about music!" It irks me.  I resent that.

I really love acting, and it's one of my passions.  However, every little girl's dream is to become an actress, and it's so hard to make it.  I don't even want to go there really.  I'd love to do theatre.

I don't know.

First post for careers class... What is a calling?

A calling is different from a job, I think. I hesitant to say the word destiny, because destiny seems to go hand in hand with humanism: the thought that we as humans are completely in control of everything. Instead I'll put God into the equation. I think that God has a perfect plan for our lives. Sometimes we try to "fix" God's plan, and we completely mess ourselves up.

Oh the irony!
