A God thing!

Like I hinted at before, God is doing some amazing things in my life. Three weeks ago I received a phone call from some acquaintances of mine in Dillon. He is a respected pastor in the PCA and a teacher at RTS Charlotte; she was a teacher in a classical school (kinda intimidating people, till you get to know them). Anyway, they called and wanted to know if I was willing to house sit for them - rent free. Now, this is not your average house sitting. You see, he was going on sabbatical and they would be living in Scotland for the next 11 months while he worked on a book he was writing. So here I am, three weeks later, almost moved into their beautiful home, almost done packing up my apartment, getting ready to put my furniture in my wonderful Father's warehouse, and feeling blessed at what God has provided for me this year. How amazing is that?! I knew things would be tight for me financially this year, but then God poured this blessing on me. I'm so thankful for his care, and now wondering where He is going to lead me next. Part of me wants to consider overseas work again in two years, but part of me knows that I didn't want to go back overseas long term until I was married. So, here I sit content and knowing that God knows my future and hoping He will reveal it in His timing!

A brand new school year . . . and adventures!

Sooo, I've kinda dropped off the radar the past few months. God has definitely been working in my life. He's been teaching me that He does know what is best for my life, and even if I might think otherwise is better, HIS plan always is. Just as I begin to despair that I've been forgotten, He reaches tenderly into my life and drops me another, Yes, I love you and love you passionately moment. Take this summer for instant. Many of you may not know that I was getting to know a young man in hopes that he would be the one I would marry. While, he was a godly man, he just wasn't the right one for me. As I was processing all this, I began to wonder why God would allow me to go through this. However, I have gained much knowledge and am glad for what I learned during this time. Although it was bittersweet in that I had a glimpse of hope in one day being married. Well, God's not finished with me and has many more adventures to bring me though. So as I begin a new school year, I'm looking forward to seeing what God is up to!
