Decisions, Decisions, Decisions...

Wow, I feel like I have been making a lot of huge huge decisions lately, which is fine but this one I'm stuck on...

I'm planning on starting my masters degree next summer through Ball State University so that I can do it online...I would start sooner but I need to be pretty intentional about saving up for this so that I don't incur unnecessary debt. I can't decide what exactly to get my master's degree in....there are so many options and I can see myself potentially taking advantage of so many different options! There is a program specifically just for elementary education, which would be the quickest and cheapest way to get my masters.

But there is also a reading specialist masters program, which is just two extra classes...

A gifted and talented masters program that I could totally see myself doing as well....

Many people want me to go into the masters program for administration, which I always wanted to do and still may...

Last week my principal sent me a program option through Ball State to take a class to mentor brand new teachers.

Ultimately, I could see myself doing so many things in the future which I think is what makes this decision hard. What I would really really like to get my masters in is counseling to be a lisc. counselor but I just can't do that at this point in my life because those programs are intense and pretty much you have to quit your job, which I can't do. I LOVE LOVE LOVE my job but I want to make sure that I am very marketable in other areas too in the future because you never know what can change. Or maybe one day I'll be a stay at home mom and won't even have to worry about it.....:) HA! I just know that I definitely want to do my masters now before I have a family because I saw first hand from my parents that the two don't combine well.....:)

I know what it feels like! When you can't make a decision not because you don't know what to do, but because there is so much you can choose from:) And you want it all!
Well, you know the answer for right now! PRAY. And He'll show you, like He always does! In his own timing of course:)
