What are you doing here?

As I have finally finished up my last semester of regular classes at SWU I have been thinking a lot about what I want to do after I graduate in December. As an education major it seems that the answer to that question would be simple...find a school with a teaching position and take it! If you know me very well you know that nothing is simple when it comes to me! I'm not even sure that I want to teach anymore. Lately I've been thinking about children around the world, even in the US that are more concerned with survival than they are with learning to read and write. When looking at the big picture it makes teaching seem less important. So I've been praying for God to show up and show me what I need to do about it! He doesn't seem to be in a hurry! I can't help but think of Elijah as I wait. In 1 kings 19 Elijah searches for God to show up on the mountain top, in an earthquake, and in the fire. In the end God appeared to Elijah in a gentle whisper. Pray that whenever God decides it's time for me to figure out what I'm doing with my life that I'll have my ears open to hear him! I guess I'll figure it out eventually!

Sounds like God has put a Holy Discontent in your heart. I feel you about the children around the world that are just wondering if they are going to make it when they wake up in the mourning. I know of children overseas that are 5 to 8 year of age and are in war shooting people. That is terrible. I know that if that discontent is from God then he is going to do something great. Wait for that small voice. I think it is hard to hear that these days because of our busy "LOUD" lifestyle. Hannah and I are praying for you. I am very proud of how much you have grown in your faith and what you have accomplished at SWU.

I'm so proud of the Godly woman you've become. You've got the right perspective. God has a way of revealing His plan, His way, in His time.
