Alabaster and Nard

If I never get married, I shall hope to be a perpetual student. I’ll get my masters in clinical psychology, then go for one in Spanish. Then one in medical anthropology. I’ll become a APN. I’ll get a doctorate in something, maybe psychology. After that, I’ll travel. I’ll study the cultures. I’ll work in clinics across the globe. I’ll do as much good as I can. In my mind and heart I’ll adopt countless children and lost souls into my family. I’ll write lots and lots. Books. Novels. Essays. Poems. And I’ll take many pictures and string them along my walls. My life will be unhindered to follow after Christ. I’ll embrace singleness and celibacy. It does not seem such a scary, forlorn thing as it did to me in the past. I have learned what it means to be content with just the Lord, and it’s a marvelous thing.
