I Finished YWAM And Have No Idea What I'm Doing Next

It's OK though.

I Finished YWAM And Have No Idea What I'm Doing Next
Katelyn Good

After leaving in September for Norway to start discipleship training school for 6 months, you would think that by March, when I got home, I would have it all together. Well, you would be wrong.

I thought maybe I would go into a dance internship in California in the fall of 2018, but that isn’t going to happen because they aren’t having it this year. So, I had to go back to the drawing board. Fast. Well, not really, but I didn’t wanna finish up without a plan for what lies next for me. I always have been getting the same question from people about what I’m gonna do now that I finished 6 months school in Norway, but I honestly don’t know.

I’m sorry to the people that would ask. I still have to be patient and listen to God. He knows my every move before I make it. Yes, I am going back to my old job even though I wasn’t sure if I even wanted to because of how my past was. Sooner or later I will need to move on though and get a big girl job to make big girl decisions.

I mean there was talk about me going back to staff in Norway. but it didn’t feel right to go back. I honestly didn’t have peace about it. So, I thought that I’m gonna just give up and wait till I finish school.

I guess I shouldn’t worry about what to do now because if there is a plan for me, it will come with time. I know that because I need to be patient and let things happen instead of trying to search all the time. I don’t expect anything from anyone on how to take the next step to being successful. I know I’m going to find something and be successful in it I just have to wait.

I’ll be honest - going into YWAM, Youth With A Mission, helps a lot and gets you ready to face the real world outside of YWAM. I was able to grow and learn and find myself, and that’s what made me so ready to be able to come home; it made me fearless and focus more and be confident in what my next step will be, and I’m sure about that.

So, going from not being able to figure life out to being able to come home from Europe and be relaxed and being able to take it slow in what I will do next which is exactly what I need. I’m grown up now, and I know how to face things and that means finding what’s next.

I am happy to say that why lies for my future maybe not written, but I have faith in the next months that I will know and be right on track with it. I’m not in any fear, but I take it day by day, and I ignore the questions hear are ask about my future. I don’t know but I will know soon.

Hopefully, I have a plan I really do, but I’m going to get through it. I’m confident, and if I ever need help, I have many people to support me, so that’s another good reason I don’t fear about it.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
