when i grow up . . .

I always thought the whole post-college breakdown/adjustment period was something that was totally fabricated for television dramas, but now that I find myself in the thick of it, I'm beginning to believe that it's true. I got married 4 weeks after graduation, and my summer was spent adjusting to married life. But now that I have time to think, I'm not entirely sure what I want to do when I grow up. Sure, there is that whole writing degree, but now I'm not sure what I should do with it. Freelancing? Grant writing? Editing?

On a totally different note, the Wilberforce movie Amazing Grace opens this weekend, and I can't wait to see it. Have no clue who William Wilberforce is? Check out Christianity Today's site for a run down on the movie and the life of the great abolitionist. When you're there, be sure to check out the work of current abolitionists. I recommend reading Terrify No More by Gary Haugen (the president of the D.C.-based International Justice Mission). The book is a insightful introduction to the work of IJM and the worldwide work of abolitionists.
