When I Grow Up

Lately, I've been thinking of all that I wanted to do with my life that I haven't done. I will be 32 years old on the 17th and I still don't have a degree in anything. What's worse: I don't really know what I want to pursue. I am trying to pass the Real Estate exam, I want to design video games, and ultimately would like to be a pastor/published author. All of this requires school. As a father of four - single father of four, I find it very dificult to find the time to clean my house, let alone go to school.

Please, don't misunderstand me. I do not regret raising there kids on my own. I executed the actions that set the wheels in motion. I can't imagine being without my kids. But a little planing would have yielded beter results by now.

Did I mention photography? Yeah, that's another intrest of mine. All of these intrests with little to no education to back them up.

Now I know that I just need to pick one and slowly work towards it. The biggest challange is picking which one. I don't want to pick something that I may get burned-out with bewfore my formal education is over. I want to give each idea some serious thought. I'm already tired of Real Estate and I haven't even passed the exam yet.

I figure a course of study with a lot of hands on training mixed in with it would be good for me. I get bored way to easily with a lot of book learnin'. And with my sleep apnea, boredom leads to nap time. It's kind of hard to explain to the instructor: "You're not boring. Really. I just have a sleep disorder."

As it stands, I am a computer tech with very little formal education because my scheduel won't permit it. But this is just really my chance to create a new post. I know God will take care of me. If I'm obedient, God will open the doors.
