"You are concerned with making the right choices about your work. You have so many options that you are constantly overwhelmed by the question 'What should I do and what should I not do?'" -The Inner Voice of Love by Henri J.M. Nouwen

Both my roommate and I are in transition in our jobs right now. So last night as we were going through the Sunday L.A. Times, she came across the career section and on the front page it said "Five Signs That You Are Ready For a Career Change". We identified with one of the five signs. Mine being financially strapped. Then she flipped the newspaper over and said jokingly, "Hey, you could go teach in South Korea! Hahaha!" Even just a few weeks ago, I would have flinched at the idea of teaching not to mention going to South Korea and living there. But for some odd reason, I felt intrigued. The biggest reason being that you could save a lot of money doing it since they pay for your airfare, housing, and vacation. So I would be able to pay off all my debts and save a decent amount of money. Secondly, I have recently been thinking that I want to try teaching outside of the United States. I even thought maybe it would be good for me to live in South Korea for a year so that I could learn to accept my cultural roots better. I know that Hannah and Joo are freaking out right now. I just said maybe. Come on, chill out. Anyways, it's just a thought and an option. But as Henri Nouwen suggests pray with me, "Not my will but Yours be done." Thanks!
