Do you ever feel like your life is stuck in limbo? Waiting on something to help you move from your precarious position? Don't get me wrong. I love many things about my life and my job. But sometimes the whole "be patient" "be flexible" thing gets tiring. Typical questions from well meaning people include. "So Kristen. When will you finish with your residency?" Good question. "Are you going back to Florida when you are done?" I hope so. Don't have a clear path yet though.
And that's just my professional life. I think I have exhausted my poor friends with all of my recent personal conversations. Thanks guys for listening!
Anyways. The good news is, I may feel like I'm in limbo. But at least I know God still has a plan. And it's going to be good. So, until I find out which way I'm supposed to move, I'll be here. In Nashville. Waiting.

Hey Kristen,
My life is DEFINITELY in limbo. Why did I think things would get easier after high-school? Yes, the hormones have calmed--I'm not such an emotional drama-queen. I'd like to think I have aquired some wisdom. But boy oh boy, the early 20's. I guess I thought I would know what is going on by now.
Kristen, don't you worry too much about where your life is headed. You have chosen to let God lead and I believe that these experiences will only give you the tools to simply "know how" when you find the answers you're looking for.
I feel that I am much more capable and empowered, due in part to the times I experienced when I flopped around like a fish out of water, not knowing what direction in which to turn or where to invest my knowledge or experiences. Having a program, such as your HR residency is a blessing because it actually allows you to implement your new-found knowledge while gaining experience and professional security. Don't sweat the small stuff. You are obviously too big of an investment for your organization to be left out in the cold. Hang in there. You'll probably realize later that the freedom you refer to as "waiting" was actually one of the most opportune times in your life. New beginnings are wonderful indeed and are like Kodak moments, only, we don't always see them in that manner until we have blown past them!
Hang in there, Kristen. Whenever I'm going through things like this, I take sadistic comfort in knowing that there are others out there that have gone or are going through the same thing.
But the difference between you and some out there is that you have awesome support both from above as well as down here.
Not to quote a ketchup commercial, but "Good things come to them that wait." Now, I'm an impatient person so I feel your pain, but old Heinz got something right there. What I've found is that the more content I am with my life now, the less time I spend worrying about where it will go. I still worry, but I don't drive myself nuts any more. Like when I was going to be married by 24....yeah funny how that didn't work out. Looking back that would've been a bad idea because I definitley wasn't mature enough to handle it. Such is life, I suppose. And yes, patience is a virtue, but sometimes I'm just that darned impatient! ARG!
