shot in the dark.

i'm rediscovering that i love to teach. informally.
i love to prepare and design lessons, devotionals, study guides. it's why i dream of being an instructional designer, or doing leadership development within a ministry. i just don't have the resources to make that possible right now, nor do i see many openings for entry-level positions in the area i live, anyway.
so, my job search again, with a mind of its own, veers off the path i thought to follow. again, i feel lost. so, rediscovering my love for teaching? it feels like i printed out the directions and, because the printer was low on ink, only step 5 is legible: "turn left on carmella avenue." it helps me not.
have you ever felt like you have crayons without paper to draw on, or only step 5 in the directions?
"dreams surely are difficult, confusing, and not everything in them is brought to pass for mankind. for fleeting dreams have two gates: one is fashioned of horn and one of ivory. those which pass through the one of sawn ivory are deceptive, bringing tidings which come to nought, but those which issue from the one of polished horn bring true results when a mortal sees them." - homer's the odyssey
