Update

So its been over a month since I was on here but I wanted to let everyone know where I am. I am currently no where... yeah take a second to process that. It appears that God would like to work on me in the patience and waiting periods of life. You know the period of life when it doesn't look like anything is happening so there can't possibly be anything happening right? WRONG...

I've been in this period before and every time I handle this period in a manner not pleasing so I vowed last time I was in this waiting period that I would do better. And well I haven't but I have. You see last time I was in this period I was depressed, bummed out, felt stuck (Beth Moore calls this being in a pit), I was angry, and well frustrated. This time I was all of that for about a week when it hit me what I was doing. So I recognized what was happening and am moving myself out of the pit. By doing that I am also moving myself forward and learning how to step in the God appropriate ways.

Does this mean the waiting period is over? No not even close but, what it does mean is that I am not alone. I recognize that God is still here, that he is still moving the pieces around and things are still happening. It means that I am still going to India at some point and that I still have growing to do. So while I am in this current waiting period I vow to continue to prepare for my mission whether in India or here at home. I will continue to pray and be still. I will continue to visit with family and friends letting them know where I am at this journey. I will continue to pray for those girls around the world and in my own backyard. And I will continue to trust in God.

  1. <3 The waiting "in between" period is hard. Like you, I not only handle it the wrong way, but I tend to really back slide and mess everything up. I completely spiral and then I have to start alllllll over. lol So I'm happy for you! It's great that you recognized your pattern and broke it. He's proud of you. :)
