Life
Life...where do I begin?
Packing...moving...children's ministry...thankyou's...work... I'm pretty busy, and very discouraged. I've been a little on the down side of things lately. I didn't really have time to process life that happened before my trip to Africa (a lot of changes in my life). So, now I'm sad. However, I'm trying to focus on God's will for me for today.
So, having said all of that --I'm really excited! I had a meeting with the family pastor at my church today about leading VBS this summer. We started VBS last week, but I wasn't able to get trained before it started due to my trip to Africa. I am really excited about the possibility of even being able to teach, here and there, when needed. He's sort of handing me the reigns. That's exciting and scary! However, he's teaching me how to lead, so I'm not alone. I'm really excited about the opportunity. I've always wanted to learn how to lead a ministry, and now I get to! Besides, I'm even more excited about what God has in store.
For some reason, this year God has really been enlarging my heart (Ps.119:8) for children. I fell in love with the children's ministry in Africa. And, I really enjoyed my pediatrics rotation this past semester. And, most of all, (believe it or not)-this year, I've started wanting children of my own! I've always wanted children of my own, but now I want them--NOW! If I were to get married tomorrow, I would want to start having children--right away. Now, from my point of view, that's hilarious! I've always said, "Oh, I would just be content to get married and have children a little later in life," and now it's the opposite. Obviously, this is all out of my control since I don't even have a boyfriend!
So, who knows what God is getting me ready for. I have no idea why He's given me such a burden and desire for children. So, I'm excited to see what He's going to do with it.
Alrighty now....it's time to get back to packing!
