so something i've been faced with lately has been trying to figure out what i want to do with the rest of my life. yea, i know. easy right? but i've gotten a microcosm of that decision for this summer.

i'm trying to decide between [option 1] to go to pittsburg, work at an architecture firm, and partner with some inner city ministries, or [option 2] stay in chesapeake and work as the youth intern at my church.

both have upsides,
[1] i'm passionate about city ministry, i would have some good friends up in pittsburgh from VT, i would make a decent amount of money and get good experience. [2] i'm passionate about college ministry, i would have friends from home, not have to spend anything on rent [thanks mom and dad] and be near the beach

and both have downsides,
[1] i'll be away from my family all summer, working at an architecture job could be boring. [2] i'd make less money, i'd be stuck in suburbia all summer

and in both places i can serve God.

so how do i decide on that?

i'm not looking necessarily for a specific answer to what i should do, but more on the broad subject. how do you make a decision, where you can see yourself serving God in both places. i've never been one to deal with indecision well. usually God gives me a pretty black and white decision to make, and it's just a matter of me making it or not. and i tend to try and rationalize it all out in my head, and rationally, they are very even.

i suppose one thing might just be to be patient and let things happen. doors could close, or something totally new could come along. in which case, this blog has been totally pointless.
