A Year Later . . .
Well, I started posting on this blog a year ago today, and true to my word, I am a bad blogger. My preference most times is to talk to someone and tell them my thoughts rather than to just write them down, but I do see the benefits to journaling and I am trying to do a better job at it.
As you have probably read some of my posts, you know that this past year was spent trying to trust God in every aspect of my life, and that is where I am at still today. Currently, I still have no job (after 9+ months) and no real prospect on the horizon. I apply but either never hear back from them or they are looking for someone with more or less experience than I have. Either way, I am continuing to trust God that He knows where I am and He is taking care of me & will have the right job for me when He is ready. In the meantime, I continue to trust and wait.
Today, I had a meeting with a couple leaders from our church about my recent trip to Romania and was discussing possible opportunities to go over there more long-term. And, though I have always thought this may be a couple years down the road, I realize that this is a time-frame I have set and it is keeping me from moving forward on a couple things (such as putting my house on the market). I keep telling myself that waiting on this is the best option, but it could be exactly like my waiting to quit my job prior to last year. I need to act and trust God that He has all of this under control and know that I cannot move forward if I am still holding on to something that will definitely hold me back and keep me tied down. So, within the next couple of weeks, I will take care of a couple things I need to do at my house to get it ready to sell and will take the necessary steps to get it listed.
I know that things in the real estate marketplace are still not the most ideal & there are several units in my neighborhood for sale, so I ask that you all please be praying that God would direct the right buyer to my place and that this will sell as easily as my car did this past July!
Other than that, I will be looking for other areas where I can continue to place my trust in God and give Him more of what I continue to try and hold on to, and hopefully, I will continue to follow where I feel Him leading.
