The Next Stage of My Life

OK so...

I have just recently been contacted by Ohio University in Athens. I was accepted to their grad school program for Public Broadcasting. Initially of course, I was so excited. Damn near ecstatic. But then reality set in. I live in Columbus. I just bought a house a year ago. And just a month ago -- a puppy. I have what most would consider a good job. It's stable and I make good money. But it's just not me. It doesn't bring out the best in me or utilize my skills and talents. Who wouldn't want to go to work being the best they can be. I feel most jobs want to put you in a small box. And sure, you can conform. Most do. But does it bring out the best in who you are? Think about it?? If everyone on this earth --- ok, we'll just focus in America. If everyone in our country got up every morning and performed in what they're passionate about--. Man, you couldn't touch us. And people would be so much happier.

But back to grad school. Like I said, I have a house. How could I afford to commute to Athens which is an hour and a half away --- gas!!??? Then also this program is full-time for one year. So I could only work part-time, right? Well then how am I going to pay my bills? When this reality set in, I got nervous. I only have a month to plan this out. Geez, what do I do? No one my age needs or wants a roommate? I don't want to work at my current job part-time AND commute to school. That's mixing an old life (I don't want anymore) with a new one.

But this dream (Public Broadcasting) has gotta be right for me. It's my next step. It's what I always wanted to do. And it's FREE tuition...please. How could I turn that down. I know a blessing when I see one.

I feel I can only depend on Him. But we haven't spoken in so long. He probably doesn't even recognize me. I know. I only call you when I want something...
