so, where to now God?

In two weeks time i will be done with college. Completely done and with the degree i've worked incredibly hard for a long and growing 6.5 years. What comes next is a great question. I truly have no idea. I have an account on six different teaching website and there is nada in Michigan. So of course this means i have many decisions to make in a few short months.
-Do i move out of state for a job?
-If I do, how will be able to afford a place to live?
-Is it wise to stick around here when there is no way to use my degree?
-What about working abroad?
-What about the community built here in Cadillac?

I am so grateful I am not in a dating relationship or have any prospects because i am so confused right now about where i want to be.

God continually keeps reassuring me that with time he will reveal to me what he wants me to do. I am so confused, lost and frustrated and i don't feel like i can talk to anyone about it. I just feel like everyone is so stuck on their own lives that they don't have the time or take the time to listen to how i'm truly doing. It happens i guess.

Life is confusing but i am loving it. God is so good and HE is who i run to. A few nights back i decided that although exhausted i needed a heart to heart with Jesus. I prayed for like two hours and just poured out myself to him and prayed for friends and family. God is so good.

WAITING

God has been teaching me to wait upon him. To be completely honest i am ready to be in a relationship but God has not placed that man into my life yet and it's something he is teaching me to be patient about. I try to remind him i've already waited for 25 years but that doesn't seem to change anything :0) Last night i was reading in my room and came to a realization. The realization was this: I am waiting for the man God is preparing me for but right now i AM in relationship with someone who loves me deeper and has committed to never let me go and his is PERFECT and my SAVIOR! I decided to start giving him the time i have put into waiting for that mystery man out there somewhere!

Well today at church we sang "Wait upon the Lord" and i just smiled as God gave me another reminder that HE is there while i wait :0) He is soooooooooo good. Well today i was looking up songs on waiting and i came across one from the movie Fireproof. It is a phenomenal movie and this song really spoke to me...or sang to me!

The lyrics are:
I'm waiting
I'm waiting on You, Lord
And I am hopeful
I'm waiting on You, Lord
Though it is painful
But patiently, I will wait

I will move ahead, bold and confident
Takeing every step in obedience
While I'm waiting
I will serve You
While I'm waiting
I will worship
While I'm waiting
I will not faint
I'll be running the race
Even while I wait

I'm waiting
I'm waiting on You, Lord
And I am peaceful
I'm waiting on You, Lord
Though it's not easy
But faithfully, I will wait
Yes, I will wait
I will serve You while I'm waiting
I will worship while I'm waiting
I will serve You while I'm waiting
I will worship while I'm waiting
I will serve you while I'm waiting
I will worship while I'm waiting on You, Lord

Seriously to a tee my life right now. A overall theme of waiting on the LORD! I get chills listening to it. Here's the video.

I woke up today with a joy that cannot be explained outside of JESUS. I have waves of loneliness but God has given me such a heart to serve until my next stage in my life. He is ALL I NEED :):):)

Strength will rise as we wait upon the LORD,
