It is almost inevitable that two marriage and family counselors would raise off-spring that would have a focused perspective on relationships and life. I have realized that it is not destiny for those offspring to become marriage and family counselors and marry marriage and family counselors (although my brother will become a psychologist in June and married someone who later got her Masters in Marriage and Family- so it is looking possible).
The awaken of my misunderstanding into a reality has lead to a bump in the road, a shock to my system, a career path game of bingo. It might be obvious to everyone out there that I do not have to become a marriage and family counselor. But that was not obvious to me. My parents never said "you have to do this" but my relational knowledge has continually be reinforced throughout my life. It is a career I am familiar with and think I would be good at but I don't know if my heart is in it. I was supposed to be applying to grad schools right now but instead I am doing some serious soul searching to determine what I want to study, what I want my career to look like.
I would love your thoughts and prayers. I know I don't have to decide today what the next 40 years are going to be like but prayers and thoughts never hurt!
