My college graduation was only a month away, and yet I saw my future as merely a jumble of daydreams and fantasies. The possibility of moving to the East Coast sounded exciting, and so I spent several weeks making elaborate plans. But I knew something was missing, and that something was prayer.

So I stopped my frantic rushing about and spent the next several weeks praying to realize God's provision for me. I knew that my place in His universe was established, and no amount of unemployed millions could obscure my spiritual view of that place. And with that I stopped pushing my own personal plans and waited for God's direction.

That next week I graduated with a degree in secondary education. Before graduating I had talked with the college placement office about finding a job, but the prospects had sounded pretty grim. "It's winter," they said, "and English teachers are a dime a dozen. Right now there are hundreds of experienced teachers searching for jobs on this island alone. There have been one or two graduates who have found jobs in the last several years. But they were placed in isolated areas on the neighbor islands. Let's face it: it's a bad time to be looking for a job."
