It's funny how your life can change dramatically in five minutes. Sometimes God asks you to have a certain perspective, and so when He moves you it comes as a surprise. I wrote a blog earlier today, but I posted it when the internet was down and it erased. Maybe it was God telling me to rethink my life.
So that is what I am doing. I am upstairs in our cafe. It is empty because the students are all fasting. I am sipping a cappucino, listening to a soundtrack, and waiting for Mama Lowe to come get me for our one on one time tonight!:) ...and I am also rethinking my life ;P
So here's the deal: I talked to the leadership here at Patmos, and they believe it is in my best interest, because I am not committing next term and because of internal things going on in Patmos, to release me from my fall commitment. (Done with love of course, not at all a booting) And honestly, it was an answer to prayer for things going on in my heart. With what God has for me around the corner, I really wanted time to prepare and be with my family! But I knew I couldn't back down from my commitment and that God had a reason. Well, God does know my heart folks!!
Because this seems such an obvious answer to prayer, and looks like the Lord's leading, I am posting this in faith, because He has led me thus far and He is still leading me! So here it is, familia: I will be home for the fall!!!! LOOK OUT!!!
I just heard last night! whoohoo!
ReplyDeleteWow!
ReplyDelete*Much girlie screaming and jumping about!!!* :DDD
ReplyDeleteHaha. I know this is supposed to be thoughtful but I skimmed over it quickly and almost laughed out loud at you sipping a cappuccino while the students fasted. hehe...also, I know what you mean about posting something that gets erased. It happens to me when I'm using my old school email client that times out after a few minutes. That's why I've developed the nervous habit of pressing CTRL + A, CTRL + C before posting ANYTHING of significant length lol.
ReplyDeletebtw. I'm super excited to hear the good news! and sorry I haven't followed your blog so much really. I'll have to catch up.
