The hardest thing right now is feeling in limbo with the timeline... I can trust Him if he says tomorrow, or if He says to wait another year... but not knowing which is what is hard for me.
Since I'm a teacher a new school year is starting in a month and now little people and others are uniquely tied to any decision to 'up and leave.'
God is reinforcing in me the importance of being content in my current season and finishing it with excellence and remembering that everything in this season is necessary in preparation for the next.
Isaiah 26:7-9
The Leveler evens the road for the right-living.We're in no hurry, God. We're content to linger in the path sign-posted with your decisions.Who you are and what you've done are all we'll ever want.
I see how every day that I'm here longer, God is steeling me up more and more (and the devil is trying me more and more). He is challenging me over and over through songs, verses, messages, people, and visions that I am a mighty warrior created with destiny to mount up on wings of eagles, because I can do all things through His power and might that dwells in fullness within me.
I know this steeling is for a purpose that is greater than I can contemplate right now, and I trust this training period. I consider the alternative- going too soon on my own accord without all His "fine-tuning" to be extremely irrattional and most likely detremental to me and His purposes. Whew... being patient makes a LOT of sense, huh?
Please pray as we wait for God's final "green light" for me to join everyone officially in Swaziland- even though my heart is already there!

Thanks for posting and updating your "e-audience" (those of us who never get a minute with you in the physical, because you are so busy...lol). I am very interested in the idea of Steeling. I need to seek God on this and would be open to your thoughts if you want to share more. Have a nice week!
