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.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
