In my journal, on January 8th 2014 I wrote "...I really want to do Your will. Give me wisdom to know what it is you want for my life. If you want me to stay where I am, I will stay. If You want me in full time ministry, that's where I want to be. I wish I didn't need a concrete answer, but I certainly need it to be from you. If I loose my job, I will go into full-time ministry. If that is at the church, that's where I will go. If that is in Africa, that's where I will go. Show me all the options you have for me. As Audio Adrenaline says, 'I want to be Your hands and feet, I'll go where you send me.'"
January 8th is the day I was stuck in a hotel in DC. This journal entry was written at 3 in the morning when I couldn't sleep anymore because jet lag had fully set in. You see, since that day the Lord has been preparing my heart for full time missions. This past Thursday my department at Windstream in Twinsburg was eliminated. I lost my job. The concrete answer I nonchalantly asked for. Looking back and seeing the day I actually wrote that is overwhelming. I've been telling people that God's been preparing my heart for full time missions since I came back from Africa. I literally stepped off the plane, onto US soil, slept for 8 hours, woke up and all I could think about was how I could get back into it.
I started my application for The World Race a couple weeks ago. As soon as I got home on Thursday, after being walked out of Windstream for the last time, I finished my application and set up an interview. I'm not sure if this is where God wants me but I have so many choices. There are a lot of scary unknowns but I know that I'm in the Fathers arms. I just want to take His hand and let him lead me, where ever that is going to be.
If you don't know what The World Race is, look it up. Or, follow this link to their website.
For now, please pray for my interview with The World Race on March 6th at 11:30am. Until then, if you need help or know someone who could use a hand doing anything, let me know. (note: I love babies and children...) I have lots of free time and I would love to use that time to serve as many people as I can.
Love and Hugs to all. :)
