Two months down and now I'm back
You know I'm really not sure if anyone reads this anymore since I've not written on here in so long???
But if you do I'm back!
Things have been crazy in my world. Work has been long, and when I say long I mean long. Just two weeks ago I worked 68 hours...yeah I typed that right! But God has been faithful through it all to give me the stamina to go on.
Things on our team are going good, we are about to go through some major changes here soon though and would absolutly love your prayers. Brett and Chris that lead the team and are full time at the church are moving back to Texas in July for Brett to attend seminary. Although we are very excited for them and know that this is what God is calling them to we are also very sad. I personally am sad because these are such good friends. I just came home from spending a good 4 hours just hanging out at their house having fun and I'm gonna miss those times so much!
Also this is going to be a streching time for the team as they were both full time and those of us who are staying are keeping our full time jobs and steping up to the plate more and taking on more responsibility. This will be a growing experience for all invovled but I believe we are all up for the challenge and I believe it will bring us all closer together.
This is a busy time for our students too as they are in the middle of finals right now and having oh so much fun with that. I would have to say that is the number one things I do not miss from College is finals week.
I have been learning alot lately again about trusting in God's timing and provision. He and I have been wrestling alot lately about the fact that I don't have kids yet. Yeah I know that there are certain paths that need to be followed to get to that point like dating and then having a husband and all but lately I have been wanting the kids of that path. It probably doesn't help that I hold babies at church anytime I get a chance! But I am trusting in the Lords timing and knowing that that may never be in His plans (lest you think my only goal in life is to have babies). My goal is to glorify God at whatever point in life I am at and know that He is all I need. A wonderful friend and I were having a conversation about this recently and came to the conclusion that we will always have unfulfilled desires in our lives, and that is just a call to know the Lord better, and the unfulfilled desires I have in 5 years are going to look completly different than the ones I have now. There is peace in knowing that and accepting the grace that comes from that.
All that to say please pray for the transitions that are coming up. Please especailly pray this weekend as we go on a team retreat and talk about roles and where we see this ministry heading.
Thanks so much for taking the time to read this I will most definitly try to be better about writing on here.
