For today’s Scattered Thoughts I thought I would be a little more random, hence the word “Scattered”.

Jami and I are finally serious about finding a house/condo to buy. With a very steep decline in prices for home we are so excited to begin our search for home to make our own. Now keep in mind we have had some great places to live and some not so grand. I would prefer a condo for now. It’s cheaper, they’re newer, and some offer some really cool amenities (Park, Swimming Pool, Gym). ON the down side, everyone is so close to one another, so no privacy, their may be people below/above you, I want to be able to bust out some music/or play guitar).  I want a house but am hesitant because they are older  (the ones in our price range), need upgrades stat, and can be more to maintain. I don’t know I’m excited but very wary.

I’d love any input.

Also I have been thinking a lot about going back to school. To pursue what? I am torn at the moment. While my passion is to get my M.DIV (Master of Divinity). I also want to go back and get my Masters in Psychology: Counseling & Marriage and Family Therapy. I am torn because I don’t feel any strong pull in one direction. What am I passionate about? I am passionate about God and serving him, that’s about as general as I can get right I suppose. I feel more understanding will come as I submerge myself in reflection/silence & solitude as well as in service through the local church.  So I wait. For an opportunity to present itself/ as well as searching/researching my options and where they can lead.

How did YOU know what you were called to do?
