Moving

My car is loaded down with most of my earthly goods and in the morning I will get in my car and me and the Lord are moving to Houston. He is already there, as He is everywhere...but you get the point.

It what has seemed like a whirlwind of provision from the Lord--I am now employed at Boys and Girls Country (BGC) as a teaching parent. I start on Monday.

I am excited about this opportunity. I had been asking the Lord to give me a "home" and an outlet to invest my gifts, time, and energy for Him in my singleness. I have also been waiting for the Lord to open doors in a job like this for a few years now. Also, they ask for a 3 year commitment. I am ready to be in a place for at least 3 years; yet, another thing I have been asking the Lord for.

I start 3 weeks training on Monday, April 9! I have a subdued excitement about this move. There are so many things the Lord is providing through this job; however, I have done a similar job before and know that these first 2-6 months will be hard. I could become intimidated by what I might face, but I must rest in Him and that He has prepared for what lies ahead and most importantly has given me a heart for it.

I thought about sending out letters for prayer support for these first few months. However, instead, I just ask that if the Lord places it on your heart to pray for me, that you would do that. I would love to send you an e-mail with a little more information if you are interested in praying for me.

Well, that is the quick update on myself. After taking a needed sabbatical from blogging, I am planning to pick it up again. If you want to hear more about the adventures the Lord takes me on...then come back for more.
