It's been interesting and difficult these past couple of days. For a very long time, I have been trying to figure out what I should pick as a career. I've always declared to have made a final decision on something or another, but something, or some other thing, calls to me instead.
Since I have returned from my mission however, and after marrying my wife, I am still feel at a stalemate as far as a profession goes. I know that the Lord has given to us talents, and each has a talent of his or her own. I'm still trying to figure mine out I guess. I know some of my talents. For instance, I love art, and I love to teach. I also like to plan things out as well.
In hopes of transferring to Brigham Young University, I want to pursue creative writing, and I have found from a little bit of research recently that there are all sorts of jobs when with creative writing. For instance, I didn't know that "blogging" could help expand a writer's career. It was also suggested to me by my father-in-law to look into being a public administrator. I have done a little research on that too, and am looking at what jobs are available across the United States. I'd like to work in a local community, but I'll go where the Lord wants me to go.
I am also interested in taking classes on the German language, and to become more familiar with the language. My wife suggested that I should pick up Spanish, but I have no interest in it. But she said a follow-up statement afterwards, telling me that German rather suits me more than Spanish. I'm not fluent in any language, save it be my own.
However, the first thing I want to do at Brigham Young University is take a speech/grammar class, including a Basic Writing course to improve my English. I am a man of many weakness, but I know that with the Lord's help, and by having faith in Him, His grace will sufficient to make my weakness to be strength (see Ether 12:27, found in the Book of Mormon).
I will figure out what I want to be, and use my talents and the things that I learn and give them unto the Lord, in establishing His Kingdom here on the earth.
Hosanna!
