i asked for that, didn't i?

finally, i have somewhat come to a decision for what i want to do in the future. lately i've been very occupied by figuring out what church i want to belong to, what kind of ministry to be a part of, and what career path to choose and get a college degree..and how in the world can i get enough work at Starbucks to pay for food, clothing and shelter (and a couple of other "add-ons").
i'm leaning very much towards going to college and becoming a teacher, preferably elementary school. so i need to talk to all kinds of advisors at all kinds of schools around here to figure out what my options are. another option would be to specialize my teaching in science where my advantage would be that i could (if it works out) work for a lab and at the same time take courses to teach science which might be reimbursed by that company too. and that kind of a job would most likely also pay enough to pay the rent and food.
church and ministry.. i've gone to the rock a few times and liked it a lot but to me it somehow seems too impersonal. although i'm well plugged into a small group and feel very at home there. but i don't feel it's the church where i will tithe and use my talents. i've been to South Coast Community Church in Pacific Beach a few times as well and i feel very much more at home there. it's much smaller than the rock and still has a close family kind of feel to it. plus they need a drummer and that's definitely my passion. and i've tried to contact the rock many times about drumming there and never heard back.
in the mean time i've hung out with one of the worship teams at SouthCoast and had lunch with the associate pastor. i feel like i've already known these people for a long time.
maybe with all these little situations God is sort of forcing me into the right direction..i asked for that, didn't i?
