My undergraduate was in English teaching, something I had wanted to do since I was in junior high/high school. After my first year of teaching I realized that it wasn't something that made me truly happy. I struggled with feeling like I had failed somehow, especially when I thought it was what God wanted me to do. In the end, I realized that all the hard work and experience was indeed what He wanted, but that it was also ok to move on to other experiences for the time being and trust that I was on the right path regardless of its unplanned twists and turns. <br /><br />Good luck with your new job. I admit, I am rather jealous :)<br /><br />sydishlife.blogspot.comSydhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10206280368513446965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1183263500164049344.post-17832544130426107942012-08-22T07:51:46.242-04:002012-08-22T07:51:46.242-04:00This is probably one of the hardest lessons I have...This is probably one of the hardest lessons I have had to learn in becoming an adult, that quitting is not the same thing as giving up.

You know how much Carl and I love you and that we stand behind your new adventure! The world you are stepping into has also been a dream of Carl's...he has published one book, and has begun another, and having a book store and the possibility of having more time to write has whirled around in his mind for years. We will come visit soon, armed with some coffee and time to browse and contemplate the possibilities! Love & hugs!

I love the part about freedom coming from being honest about what you cannot do. I've thought about going to grad school, but I really don't know if I can handle it or even if I want to. <br /><br />I wish you the very best in your new endeavor! Working in a bookshop?
