So it has been so long since my last post. I think that maybe it is because I have struggled to be inspired or chalenged in such a way that I needed to think externally. Since the last post, Joanna and I have reallized we are called to move cities and start semenary.
Now, four months later from our first talk about this, we have moved to Brentwood, TN. We are both working at Forest Hills UMC, and we are both going to semenary!!!
It seems like so many times we think that God moves so slow, that we have to wait for him to finally listen to us... Well, in this case, God acted so fast, it felt like He had to wait on us. I wonder if this is how it really works?
Maybe God is waiting on us for the BEST thing, and we feel like we are waiting on God but for the GOOD thing. Maybe the reason we feel like we are waiting on God is that we are waiting for the wrong thing?
As Always... Just thoughts.
Can't wait to start thinking again!!!

Hi, God works in ways that are sometimes unclear, sometimes clear as crystal... but they are always breathtaking to look back upon.
Trusting Him to lead you is sometimes the hardest thing in the world, especially when everything we learn screams "He knows what He is doing, Trust Him, fool!"
I'm trying to practice the patience of Job this week, and that led me back to journaling on my Live Journal. Mainly to stop unloading on my parents, but I think it's good for me. I've noticed feeling a lot less weighed down since I am using LJ the last two days. Amazing how getting things out "on paper" so to speak (type? hee hee.), really changes how I view my problems.
I wish I could friend you on LJ so you and Jo can read what I'm journaling. Facebook got a bit too public, you know what I mean?
I understand! Maybe you can send me the link and we can at least read them even if we cannot comment.
