With knots of excitement in my stomach and a little bit of nervousness...
I write my final blog before I start these amazing 9 months!
Who knew?
Looking back on the past 2 years of my life... I would have never thought I would be in this situation and joining a discipleship program for 9 months. I would have never imagined myself to not be teaching or coaching during this 2013-2014 school year. I would have never imagined placing everything I own into a storage unit and taking minimal necessities to live in an extreme outdoor adventure program... BUT would I change it.
Of course not!
Looking back on the past 2 years, a series of events have taken place in my life that have guided me away from what I love and allowed me to focus more directly on what He has planned for my life. Did I know this would occur in my early career, no, but I am very blessed by the outcome. It serves as a reminder that my Father is in control of ALL things.
Looking back on the last year of my life, I think about the many people I have met in the numerous towns I have lived in. I have been so blessed by new friendships, great opportunities, and wonderful amounts of support. The connection that I have built in these towns serve as a wonderful encouragement to what I am currently seeking after in my life.
Looking back at the past 6 months, since March, that I made the decision to no longer search for a teaching or coaching position, to stop working on my Masters in Education, and to stop living for myself and everyone else for that matter... One of the hardest decisions that I have ever made for myself. To stop pursuing after the things of this world, but to chase solely after His will for my life.
Looking back at the last month and a half... What a blessing and test of my faith has this fundraising been. And of course He came through! The blessing of reaching 100% fundraising from the online program, outside donations, and garage sale money.... THE LORD IS GOOD! Gifts from new friends, old friends, best friends, and friendships that are building... All have been such a blessing to these past few weeks.
SO who knew? HE KNEW.. all along.. I may not have, but He did. And I can proudly proclaim that looking back through all these moments... He is there - walking beside me, holding my hand, sometimes carrying me through it all.
So... here I am!
All of me Lord. Take me. Make me. Break me. Mold me. Guide me.
Through YOUR will, have YOUR way!
Love you friends!!! Look for my next post in a few weeks!
