marries and moves away.
What do you plan to do—after graduation? Are you gonna be a minister—or
what?
Or what, my mind echoed in frustration. What?
I had been asked myself the same question over and over. And I still didn’t have
an answer. Graduation was only a month away, and it seemed that I was the only
one in our small town school who didn’t know what to do with life after the big
day. It wasn’t that I hadn’t given it a thought. In fact, I thought about it most of
the time. I prayed about it, too. But I still didn’t have an answer, except to say
honestly, "No—I don’t know yet." And I’d been saying that for a long, long time.
