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.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
