Waiting Game

February 15th, the infamous day where letters are received and two year commitments are finalize is quickly approaching. Yet not fast enough for me. I wait in anticipation as the next two years is decided for me. Thinking to myself daily the affairs I need to get in order when that letter comes. The new daily agenda of language learning and learning how to drive a stick is just a few of the new items that will consume my time here in the States before I leave to embrace on a new journey which the Lord has set before me. Excited, extremely! Nervous, terribly! However, I know the Lord as ordained a special task for me, one that fits my own personal talents. I want so badly to be able to answer all those who ask the questions “where are you going?” and “what will you be doing?” but I can’t I can only speculate and hope. So until the 15th I’m playing the waiting game.

Who would have known?

The Lord has an amazing sense of humor I once again found out. Oh how little we think we know what’s best for us. I really do believe I make Gods side hurts sometimes. You know with all the laughing He probably does at me when I tell Him my plans.

I came to Virginia this week to seek the Lords will for me. And as usual I tried to take complete control. I told the Lord the area I wanted to go to and the job qualifications I wanted. I specifically informed Him that I did not want to work with certain age groups or go to certain places. Well… as you can probably figure from this my plan didn’t really turn out the way I had hoped. Everything I thought I didn’t want the Lord gave me, ever place I didn’t have an interest in he showed me. No it didn’t turn out at all the way I was hoping, no it turned out even better!

The Lord continues to amaze me with his Perfect will and sovereign power. Oh how He has written such a beautiful love song for me if I would only seat long enough to hear it play.
