Christmas!

Okay, I have not posted in FOR-EV-ER. So, the latest news: I get to come home for Christmas. After 14 months of living in another country I get to see family and friends for a total of 12 days. Yes, that is not a long time, but it will be wonderful! So I probably won't be traveling a lot of places at Christmas time and if you really want to see me then you'll have to come and visit. However, I will return in June for at least the summer or maybe longer, that decision still has to be made :). If you are in Logan, Ohio or a surrounding area please inform me and I will do my best to see you.

As for what's going on in my life these days. Life is good and HE is good. My dad is doing better. I would ask for your continued thoughts, but he is staying positive and encouraged. He's actually a big reason that I'm even able to come home. HE has really restored my relationship with my dad, so PTL. It's a real gift. I don't think I would have imagined things to turn out the way they have, and I would love to share more sometime. I'm moved almost to tears even as I write this. Through all of these difficult circumstances that have brought more and more shadows to my family, he has never left us.

Thank you for your continued thoughts and encouragement. I continue to enjoy what I do, but I am not sure I'm gifted for what I'm doing. There are other passions and desires that have begun to arise in my heart. I really desire clarity and wisdom as to how to deal with and pursue these things. Be still before Him and wait patiently on Him....those who hope in Him will inherit the land. I waited patiently for Him; he turned to me and heard my cry. This is what I'm learning, so I continue to be still and try to wait on him. I love you all; I mean that. I hope you seek Him and find Him.
