Changing Careers?

This is me with one of my students, Luz... I love that name, because it means "Light."


There has been a lot going in the agency I work for. Lots of changes and lots of things I'm not agreeing with. I was sort of trying to do my best to "hang in there" and make it work out... but it's getting very overwhelming and I think it's getting so stressful that it's making me sick. The kids come to school sick a lot, so that doesn't help. But I feel tired all the time, I feel like I'm falling behind, I feel like I'm not getting things done (in life) that I'd like to be...


Jeffrey and I have been talking about it. I'm wondering if I need to change careers. I don't want to do something that God doesn't want me to do... but I can't imagine this job being good for me anymore. We're praying to see what God has in store for us. I feel really confused and really lost. Part of me wants to stick it out, just so that I can say that I did. But another part of me wants to find something else (and "quit" this job) so that I don't have to deal with the stress anymore.


Any suggestions? Advice? Wisdom? Anything is appreciated.

  1. oh, sad! one of the daycares i worked in had lots i didn't agree with ("are we seriously at a church??!!"), but it was a summer job, so no advise there! keep praying, eventually you'll be guided one way or another.
