Sorry it took me so long to post again...I haven't been on the computer lately. It has been good, though, because I got a lot of schoolwork accomplished. Amazing how much can be done when you don't have computer and things like that to distract you, isn't it? Well, my dad got an email from Mr. McEwen the other day saying they would like (if at all possible) us to be in Australia by December first...*pause for gasps*...(That's just the reaction I got when I told some others.) When my mom told my siblings and me this yesterday at breakfast, she told us not to complain about it, but just to pray about it. So, that's what I've been doing...a lot. I know I have selfish motives for wanting to stay at least until the end of December, but I've sort of already got my heart set on it. That's not the best idea, though, considering I definitely have next to nothing as far as any control over this situation. Unless I get some kind of dea'dly disease, going or staying isn't going to be based on me. It might not even be possible for us to leave that soon since we don't even have our house up for sale uet. We also haven't gotten our visa yet...minor details like that, ya know. ;-) Last night at Pastor Magill's installation, Mr. McCracken told us that before he left for Australia (I think they stayed there five years), his mother asked him, "Isn't there anyone else who could go?" He replied with, "Just remember, mother, I'll be only a day away..." Quote of the post: "If I'm ever getting sleepy, all I have to do is put a woman behind the wheel. That wakes me up immediately." --My Father ^-^ I drove part of the way home last night...haha. Verse of the post: "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him and He shall direct your paths." --Proverbs 3:5-6 ^-^ This verse has meant so much to me the past year or two. I just keep repeating it over and over in my mind. Trusting God in all things isn't always easy, but it is always worth it. And besides, if I don't trust him, all it's going to do is make it more miserable for me. I could do a whole 'nother post on this verse, but I will stop for now... Song of the post: ^-^ I always hear this song when I'm with Beth Long!! It's craziness, I tell you (and, um, don't make any innapropriate comments on that :-P). Tamara says I should ask how many people can hit the high notes on this song. ;-) Charity | 6:44 am Comments-[ comments.] |
