I'm at the point (again) in my life that I now have to decide what I want to be when I grow up. The doctor says I have reached my maximum medical improvement and the work restrictions I'm currently on will be my restrictions indefinitely. Now when I hurt my neck 10 months ago, I had no idea it would take me out of my current career. It's rather devistating to know that I put a lot of hard work into a career that I will never do again because I am no longer physically capable of doing it.
So now the question is "What am I going to do with my life?"
I have some ideas but nothing is definite. I still get to continue working my 40 hour week of light duty because the Fire Marshal and I are in the middle of a huge project that will last 2 or 3 more months but that's all I know about my future for now. I haven't heard any word of what's to come after that. They have no reason to keep me as an employee there because i can no longer handle the physical demands of a firefighter and there are no other positions for me to fill.
Time will tell what's to come. I get anxious about it and sometimes worried but I have to keep reminding myself that none of this has caught God by surprise and He is fully able to provide even my smallest need. I have to remeber to trust that He will give me direction and wisdom in choosing (again) what I want to be when I grow up.
