The Divine Crash

In 66 days I will be finished with my seminary education. That thing I have been working towards will finally be mine. Then what? I will wake up the morning of June 4th with my Master’s degree and then what do I do? Is real life supposed to begin then? If so, was this just practice? Was it fake? Or was it something else?

I only have six projects left to finish out my seminary career. What will I do with my time once they are done?

Sometimes getting what you always wanted isn’t as nice as it sounds. I have always wanted to graduate school and now that I will I have no idea what to do next. I guess I will finally have my white whale. Now what?

Around me I see students who are sabotaging themselves so they don’t have to graduate and move on, or they are graduating and going for their Phd all so they can put off that final moment and that “Now, what?” a little longer.

I once new a man who always wanted a corvette. All his life growing up he wanted to won a red Corvette. Then, one day he finally got it. He had it sitting in his driveway, and the whole neighborhood came out to watch. Then one day it had a for sale sign on it. When I asked him why he was getting rid of it he said it was the only thing he always wanted and now that he had it he was bored. Will I get bored now that I am finishing school? I currently have no desire to get my Phd but will that change because I don’t know what to chase next? Do I need to chase anything or can I rest for a little while?

Is life about chasing things/people/dreams and never catching them? Or is life about catching them and finally being happy?

Or is life about something else?
