I can’t find a pulse.
It’s time for some changes.
Well, that’s a bit ridiculous coming from me. The past few months have already had more changes than a brain can manage without risking a major short in some crucial neural transmitters or fuses.
But there are still more changes coming, and (hopefully) they’re for the better.
In February I started school (again), this time at Lincoln Christian University. I decided Moody was taking too long since I couldn’t utilize student loans (they estimated 10+ years to completion), so I transferred to LCU and OH. MY. GOODNESS. it is moving faster. I’m enrolled full time, taking 12 hours per semester, broken up into 4 six week (three-hour) classes. In other words, I go to school one night a week for six weeks, then immediately (without a break between classes) move on to the next course for the following six weeks. Multiply that by 4 per semester and you get 12 hours. Simple, right?
The downside is that to take 8 of these classes per year automatically keeps me in school 48 out of 52 weeks of the year. But the bright side is that in approximately 36 months I’ll walk away with a shiny new BA in Christian Ministry.
…and that’s the point - being prepared for and working in ministry.
I knew I would have to readjust my plate when I began classes, but assumed it would be trimming and skimming, not outright abandonment. But here I am only 2 months in and I have decided that I am permanently shutting down my graphic design business: Pulse Creative Company.
In a way it’s sad (does this place me in the “failed business” category?), but in a larger sense it’s liberating. This is the first time I have truly committed myself to one pursuit for far too long. Finally, I’m following God with all of my life - not reserving my energy to build a business on the side.*
Exhilarated, terrified and anxiously awaiting what’s next.
*not that there’s anything wrong with that… but it wasn’t working for me.
