Today I am almost ready to burst with some kind of energy. It is a mix of frustration because I was yet again turned down for a job that I was definitely qualified for. And I was turned down because my asking salary was too high and they didn't choose to counter-offer. This energy has also a bit of excitement in the mix because I think I am onto something. I was looking, out of curiosity, at some missions websites and when I stumbled upon the wycliffe page, it listed some Bible translation institutes. So I suddenly got the idea of maybe going back to school to become a Bible translator. Put my passion for Christ and translation to good use. But I wonder if I am already qualified for a position as a Bible translator? I know, however, that I still need to learn Greek and Hebrew, so perhaps if I can get those down, I can become an expert translator. I am freaking out a little because this throws my plans entirely out the window. My plans to start working and such. And it scares me to think that I could change it up a little - I have never been a fan of change. But somehow, this is all just very exciting to me, the prospect of doing something like this and it could be it! I just feel tied down in a lot of places. My friends and family are here and a lot of these seminaries that offer Bible translation courses are far away. I am so confused right now, I don't know what to do about it. But I feel like I have to tell someone or I will just burst. But who could I tell that would give me their impartial, honest opinion? It is times like this when I wish I didn't feel intimidated by calling up my pastor and asking him questions. However, Steve is online... maybe I could ask him...
