A Time of Prayer.

The full realization that I will be done with my masters in a year is finally hitting me! Which begs the question....what next? God has taught me so much these past few years as a teacher and as a friend to my fellow brothers and sisters in Christ. I feel like it has been a busy, stretching time...but strangely restful as well. I've been able to watch God continue to mold me and grow me. I turned 26 this year...and God has taught me to cherish this time. I wouldn't trade it for any age.

Right now I am focusing on praying for direction for the next step to take. I will finally be free to return to the mission field, degree in hand, ready for whatever God calls me to. Ever since I was Kenya, I wanted my masters. During that time, God showed me how higher education could be the ticket into any country...even closed ones.

So, now I'm looking for that next step. One possibility is joining Jerry Daniels....an AMAZING missionary. He desperately needs help and has always wanted me to join him and his wife on the field. Another option is the Philippines, another is more school (yes I am a glutton for punishment), or God may direct me to wait (the hardest option).

Please pray with me during this time. I've committed to pray until September 15 for God's direction in this matter. If he does direct me to go overseas again, I will need to start raising funds at that time for the following year.

Pray makes such a difference.
