The path ahead

Dear Lord

I understand that things do not always proceed smoothly for everyone all their lives. YOu have placed challenges in everyone's lives so that we could grow stronger and be wiser with each step that we take.

My life so far has been blessed with minimal calamities. The necessary elements required to grow a human being has been provided to me and they have worked, albeit this does not take into account the emotional aspect.

I have come to a point where there is a need to make a decision which will compromise my objectives of being a teacher, a good teacher. The most critical factor is money. Money to me is a requirement for survival. It is also a means to freedom. It allows me to travel all over the world and experience things which gives me the inspiration. It allows me to pursue further education to develop myself so that I can bring benefits to the young ones. I heard the calling to be a teacher. I know that despite the hardship, this is one career path which will take me into my years of joy.

There are so many aspects of my life now that invovles money. One of which is housing. What should I do? Should I sink in all my money into a flat and delay my dreams of becoming a teacher? Or should I delay the desire to have a flat and pursue my dreams of becoming a teacher first? Or should I suffer in silence and live together with his parents?

Dear Lord, guide me and teach me what I should be learnt.

In the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, Amen.
