Life options galore,am I doing this right?

I feel like the whole world is changing their traditions. When I look at the past, it seems like everyone was on the same path. Adults would work Monday-Friday 8:00-5:00 at a job typically in a downtown area. Their job was the same place that they reside; their kids would go to that public school in that town.  Church was Sunday morning and evening with a nap in the afternoon. I felt like you would job from household to household and that is basically what you would see across the board.

I feel like that isn't the case at all anymore. You can do charter school, homeschool, private school; public school almost seems rare when you put it against all of the options. Work no longer is bound to the Monday-Friday workdays, and so many people work from home, or weird hours and days. Church can start anytime on a weekend, and I even know of a few that meet on a Tuesday. Jumping to house to house today, you can have so many different ways of living.

I think seeing all the different variables is making me question how I live my life. I live a very untraditional life. but I also  feel like most people now  live untraditional lives.
There is no longer a set path--you just need to figure out what works for you. I doubt my decision about my path. It is almost like there are so many different variables that you can do to live, you need to test them all out and see which one is THE BEST.

Growing up in a traditional home, and having all the people around me being raised the same way as me and everyone's life is the same give you identity in who you are by the tradition. Time has past and the traditions have been broken so much that there is no longer that tradition. Small towns still have some of this in their roots, but by and large, this part of our lives is gone.

I feel a little lost in the sea of options in front of me. I feel a little insecure about my lifestyle choice because so many people have chosen different things and I don't know which path is the best path to do.

Lord, give me clarity on what I should do, where I should live, and how I should do my life. Don't let my view be muddled by what everyone else is doing. Keep me on your path, and your path alone. Guide me in the sea of lostness.
