Update-shmupdate
So I REALLY want to write an update for you all but I am just a bit overwhelmed. Sorry. Info and pics soon! But I will tell you this, God is SOOOOO good. Seriously. He really knows just what I (we) need. Prayer is so powerful, I love it. The end for now

I find it funny
In college writing a paper took all my will power and then some but I have been dying to write and share with you all about what God has been teaching me this summer.
Things have not always been easy. We can all say that. Things haven't been easy since my dad got sick. Things haven'y been easy since my grandma died. Things haven't been easy since I decided to move to Hawaii and have no job. I could go on and on but that is not the point. The point is things haven't been easy but they have been good. I know they have been good because they have all been apart of HIs bigger plan!
As I prepare myself for months away from my family, friends, and church I am leaning on God, on His understanding (like I should have been doing all along but only did when it felt good for me, but that's another story). As I lean on Him and trust in His plan I am learning. I am leanrning hope for tomorrow and patience for today. I can not rush God, nor do I want to. His timing is perfect and I'd really like our timing to start lining up! I am hopeful that tomorrow will bring better and brighter days. I am patient with today as I wait for a job offer in Hawaii. I am hopeful I will find peace in each day. I am learning patience with myself, trying to forgive my failures and learn from my mistakes.
I do not have a job waiting for me in Hawaii but I am stepping out in faith. I know He has called me away from home for this time to do HIs work. I am not worthy to compare myself to the great leaders and founders of our faith but I have to be honest, I see great connections between Moses and myself. I am a terrible writer but here I am sharing this with you because I feel God wants me to. He was not a great speaker but God gave him the words to speak and change Pharo's mind (the most powerful man in the world at the time)! I do not know why I am going and I really do not know where I am going. Moses had no idea what or where this promised land was, but he did know God had set him apart for that purpose and that journey. I know God has set me apart, called me. He knows my name and now it is my time to share His works and the name of HIs beautiful son!
I am also learning the importance of revrant prayer and so I pray for you, my friends and family, and I ask you pray for me as well. I love you all and I want you to be uplifted by Him. I pray you hear His voice calling your name like I have. I ask that you pray for me as I set out on this journey in 15 short days.
Love & Peace
