This week I have said this phrase a couple times "I can't wait to be unemployed" and I mean it in the best way. I mean, the way I live now I book myself with everything I could possibly do and every second is filled to the point where there is no flexibility.
With a government job I have quite a bit of flexibility, so long as I make up all the time, so with this conference my coming weeks are booked with making up the time at work.
I want to be able to go wherever God calls me, to do whatever whenever.
Being unemployed is one way to do that. And I really can't wait for next year. I am trying to decide between being a res fellow, or living with my parents. Both are great opportunities for ministry and there won't be money being passed around through me hands. So I consider that unemployed. lol. Personally, I really want to live on campus and meet a million first years and do the whole morning prayer meeting res fellow life. I'll be taking only 4 courses a semester which will be good and being on campus will save so much time commuting. But it actually is a job, I'm just being paid with a room and food. lol. So I'm trying to weigh it against living at home. So I gotta figure that out. But I'm still looking forward to next year. xP I also hope I won't be doing Sunday school teaching anymore. lol...
Beyond that though, what will I do? Like, after I graduate?
I do not know.
I really want to do ministry for a bit. I do think that. Maybe. A lot that still needs to be prayed about.
But ya, ultimately it isn't about being unemployed so much as finding a job where I can enjoy every second and do it all for God. I'll probably discuss this more next week. lol
Ttyl.

As you said, ministry is everywhere, weither you are at your parents' or on campus... The most challenging being blood-family... I think it's thhe same for a job. The question still remains though. which one will you enjoy more or, which one will make you grow more into Him. These two are not always related though... :P
