Why does it seem like the hardest thing to do is always the right thing to do?

This is completely unrelated to my first thought. Turns out there might be a change of plans. I don't think I'm going to get my masters in music composition.

1. It's 45k a year
2. Teaching jobs rarely come open, and I just can't justify spending that kind of money on a job that really won't pay itself back. That's just too much debt.

Soooo...I've been looking into SIUE's MBA program. Which means I no longer need the GRE prep book I bought, but instead I'll need a GMAT prep book and a ton more math knowledge. I did some practice problems with my buddy tonight.

We got 50% of them right.

They have a one-year program that I could start in the summer. Logic tells me this is a good life decision. I've never really been good at math, but as my higher level thinking skills have developed in college, I have noticed that I am becoming more adept at logic-based problems. But there's a whole lot of logic involved, and not a whole lot of praying. Which leads me to option #2...

Theology. This has always interested me. Once again, not really the best career move, hence the prayer. But this is something that I can do from home and it's relatively cheap schooling. A BUTT-LOAD of writing though, which is something I hate. But writing is becoming increasingly easier for me, and when it's a subject that I care about, it always makes it easier.

I'm really unsure though. No matter what, I do need to enter some type of graduate program. I've seen what life is like when people are struggling to find a job. With the degree I received from Evangel, I'm really not ensured job security. But God has taken care of me this far. There's a line from a Michael Buble song that states, "I live my life in stages". Whether I'm taking this out of context or not, I don't care. I know that this is what God wants for me in this stage of my life and I am going to give it my best until it's over...and then I find out what God has for me next. I don't want to spend my time constantly thinking about the future when I should be concentrating on the "here and now". If I did that, I'd be robbing the present of my full attention, and not putting forth all my effort into my current job, friends, and family.

I'm merely thinking about my future when it allows, not dwelling on it. There's a big difference between preparing for your future and fretting over it. One is healthy, the other is not. The Bible says to let tomorrow worry about itself. Great advice.
