When I graduate, what will happen to my iCal?
What will I do with my ten color coded calendars and my overwhelming to do list? When I am living with 3 girls instead of 38, when I'm teaching theology at only one place, when I'm babysitting as my only job, when I'm reading because I want to, when I'm not spending all day applying to jobs and writing papers, what will become of my detailed list of requirements?
What will happen to my sense of worth, validated by each assignment I check off? What will become of me when each day has one assignment (work) instead of a rainbow of mixed obligations. Where will I find my identity when I'm not running off to meetings and getting A's on papers?
Who will I be when I am no longer a student?
Right now, I can tell you my identity is in Christ, and you will believe me when I show you my sparkling ten page paper which I received a 92 on. But next year, I will tell you my identity is in Christ and you will believe me because my life proves it. Only in Christ am I made whole.
