The Future (for me and Resa at least)

Well, the future of Drew has been on my mind a lot lately. Where will I go? What will I do when I get there? How long, till I know for sure what God wants for me in my life? All these questions linger around my mind as I try to hash it all out.

Resa and I have talked about going to Evansville Indiana and me go back to school at University of Southern Indiana. As of right now, that is the plan. But the problems do come, as they always do in my life.

1) Where will we live? Resa just got an interim at the high school and will be filling in for it for around 12 weeks till the end of the school year. That makes living in Evansville hard, due to her having to drive so much. However, USI's married housing is extremely cheap. I mean so cheap that we will save around 300-350 a month which equals between 3600 - 4200 a year. YISER! That is a lot of money. So we are kinda stuck on what to do...I want to be the good husband in this decision yet I find my decision benefiting me more than her. I don't want her to have to drive yet I don't want to put extra financial burden on us. We have enough of that as it is. We could live in between Evansville and Hawesville but that still has both of us driving and me driving everyday to Evansville, so that really doesn't do much good. Please pray for us as we are trying to decide what to do. I will need to be turning in my housing deposit pretty soon so this decision is one that will have to be made soon. It would be easy to make the decision if we knew that she would have a teaching job for sure next year. We would have to live in Owensboro or somewhere so that she could teach. Its just that this not knowing is tearing us apart. Not literally tearing me and Resa apart but tearing us up inside.....if that makes sense.

2) What will I do? OR the most important question: What will I study? This has been a very lively debate for the last couple of years in my life. Usually I was limiting to something that was cheap and available distance so no matter where I was I could do the program. Well now, USI is cheap and they have all the majors one could possibly want. So the question is what do I study?
As of right now, I see myself studying for my Bachelors in Social Work and then continuing on to the MSW degree. I think ultimately I would like to run an inner city/city youth center, reaching out to teens. But the MSW would give me plenty of options if that didn't work out. I love people. I especially love teens and feel that I can help them become better people as they pursue their dreams and aspirations.

So I guess that is all for now....oh yeah:

I just wanted to say thanks for reading this blog.....and come back often, I try to post every day or at least every other day. Don't forget to add your comments.....
