Edit
I've been doing a lot of thinking lately. Planning for my future. Thinking nigh my present. Reflecting on my past. What exercise I desire to ambit inward my life? What should I endure doing correct now?
These post-college years guide hold non looked similar what I anticipated. My plans for my hereafter together with God's plans haven't necessarily lined upwards inward all aspects of my life. But, that's okay. He's continually showing me how His ways are better. I've accomplished together with hence many things these by span of years that would guide hold been impossible had my ain plans worked out.
In ane of the facebook groups that I'm a purpose of, several of the participants started posting lists of goals nether the hash tag #Next5. The sentiment is to write a listing of what yous wishing to ambit inward the adjacent 5 years of your life. Then, portion it amongst the world. Kevin Buchanan made a video nigh the #Next5 Challenge.
I've never been ane to create a 5 or x yr conception for my life before. But, there's a commence fourth dimension for everything. Here's what I promise to ambit inward the adjacent 5 years of my life. I'm a few months away from turning 25, together with hence I approximate yous could telephone phone this my listing of things to exercise earlier I plough 30.
I tried to accept a selfie amongst my list, but my selfie skills are seriously lacking. This is the best out of at to the lowest degree 10 or xv takes...
Eventually, I merely resorted to laying my listing downwardly together with snapping a moving-picture demo of it.
Master's Degree
After iv years of college, I was READY to endure done. While my friends were busy taking the GRE together with filling out grad schoolhouse applications, I was busy filling out undertaking applications. I wanted to endure the ane giving the homework instead of doing the homework. Now that I've been out of college for several years, I fille it. I fille the challenge. I mean value I'm create now. I guide hold a vision for what I desire to exercise someday beyond the classroom. And, it's going to accept a fair amount of extra schooling to acquire inward happen. More nigh those plans inward roughly other post, though...
National Board Certification
I guide hold ane to a greater extent than yr of pedagogy to consummate until I tin commence the procedure of becoming a Nationally Board Certified Teacher. I recollect watching my high schoolhouse teachers popular off through this procedure spell I was a student, together with I'm excited for the opportunities for reflection together with professional person evolution it volition provide. The sentiment of video-taping my pedagogy together with reflecting on it terrifies me. But, that's a sign that it's something I demand to do. I desire to acquire a better, to a greater extent than effective educator. And, I mean value this is an of import stride on my journeying to exercise merely that. The extra stipend that comes amongst it volition endure squeamish every bit well. (Let's merely promise Oklahoma keeps paying the stipend!)
Own My Own Home
I moved out of my parents' family at historic menstruum eighteen when I started college. My commence 2 years of college were spent living inward a dorm room. Next, came 2 years of living inward an apartment. When I moved to Drumright, I rented a house. This volition endure my 3rd yr living inward the same house. I mean value I'm in conclusion at the indicate where I demand to determine where I desire to settle downwardly together with purchase a house. I experience similar it's dizzy to popular off on paying rent when I could endure investing inward something. In the town I alive in, family payments are really cheaper than rent. I guide hold lots of decisions to make. But, I definitely desire to ain my ain dwelling family inward the nigh future.
Run a 5K
I'm non a runner. It doesn't come upwards naturally to me, but I desire to examine to myself that I tin exercise it. I desire to examine to my students that I tin exercise it. This is nigh me making an endeavour to remain salubrious together with fit. This is nigh me proving to myself that I tin exercise anything I gear upwards my hear to. This is nigh me stepping out of my comfort zone. It's fourth dimension to halt making excuses together with brand this happen.
Get Married
If I said I didn't desire to acquire married, I would endure lying. So far, God hasn't made this happen. Instead, he's been using this flavor of singleness to operate on growing me every bit a person. He's pedagogy me how to communicate. Oh, how he's doing quite a undertaking of that correct now. This could endure a weblog postal service inward itself. I've besides had to larn how to popular off later what I desire together with non what I mean value that others would desire me to do. I know wedlock isn't easy. And, I know I volition endure amend off for working on these things earlier entering into a relationship. Will wedlock tumble out for me inward the adjacent 5 years? I don't know. Of all the things on this list, it's the ane that is the to the lowest degree nether my control. At to the lowest degree the type of God-honoring wedlock I'm looking for is out of my control. I approximate I could ever detect roughly random individual on the street that would handgrip to wed me, but that's definitely NOT what I'm looking for! :)
The disclaimer at the bottom goes for the entire list. I really guide hold no means of knowing what challenges together with triumphs the adjacent 5 years of my life volition bring. God is inward control. And, the Bible tells me that his ways together with thoughts are greater together with higher than mine. I conception on working my hardest to brand these goals into reality, but I am ultimately non inward control.
What's your conception for the #Next5 years of your life?
