God wants to keep me here a little longer. There's been some trials in my life and it may result in me staying a bit longer. Really, I just want to do what God wants me to do. I want to live the life He wants me to live. I want to be where He wants me to be...and that could be right here. I know if God wants me elsewhere, He will make a way. I'm not chickening out...trust me...I REALLY want to go, but...it's complicated. I have to continue to pray and trust God with the results.
God will make a way
Where there seems to be no way
He works in ways we cannot see
He will make a way for me
He will be my guide
and hold me closely to His side
With love and strength for each new day
God will make a way
God will make a way...
Lord, please, please, I beg you, please...make a way...

Process of Change
Everything's been sent and now I'm just playing the waiting game. I'm excited and nervous. I know it's all in His hands and so I'm going to trust Him. Everyone's been really supportive and encouraging. I look back and praise God for allowing different people to be a part of this process:
GOD - created me and grew in me a passion for His glory and for His name to be glorified among the nations
PJ and Yek - reminding me about missions and calling me out to India many years ago
Jill - took my picture for the application the day I sent it out..though later she jokingly regretted taking it
Armenia - filled out my friend reference form and said she almost cried as she did so
Pastor Alex - filled out my pastoral reference form though he jokingly said he would mess it up
Jazz - was my "witness" for my waiver form
Bec - closest confidant through the past months regarding missions and work
Countless friends and family - praying for me and this possible new endeavor for God's glory
Praise God...Lord willing, in a few months my life could be totally different...and I smile...
