Did you call me, Lord?

It only takes one person, literally, one person, to fire the light in my heart.

Is this a calling from God? Is He reminding me of my passion and my purpose? Did you call me, Lord?

I have decided to postpone my grad school application for another year. After being home last week, I felt a heavy of being away from home for so long.. and almost decided that I would just let go of grad school and go home for good next year.
Just 2 days after that, I met Jonathan.. and he is all like me, in terms of grad school, but with more persistence. Ah, just what I need, right?

He thought about grad school since over a year ago. Decided to give another year to gain more experience and to better prepare for the application. But he was stuck with busyness from this consulting job and did not really study much. He really wants to do international development work but actually does not have substantial experience, only some international work here and there. He cannot wait another year to apply to school. It is now 1.5 months to application deadlines, and he is still writing his first school application.
Oh my. Can't wait how similar his situation is with me. He talked me about applying to school and I really buy it. He is only ahead of me in terms of GMAT/GRE. I still have to take it. But, I should be able to apply to some schools. Maybe I should not have lofty goals of applying to 10 schools, but only 5; not all the top schools, but good enough; not with 100% prepared in GRE, but well enough to get good scores. Ah, who knows!

This is going to give me a lot more work than now. I know. But I am so fired up tonight that I cannot deny the fact that there is more to this than my interest. Maybe this will be a dream come true. Maybe God is calling me to do His work. I can never be 100% sure this is what I want to do, but it has been almost 2 years now since I got excited about this - going back to school and potentially work with school kids, parents, and/or the communities. 2 years of having this little light in my heart cannot be understated. Let's nurture it and grow the fire.
