Opportunities

God's been opening doors left and right.  Now, it seems, we just need some to shut so we know what ones to go through.

Michael interviewed, as was mentioned in the previous post, so now we are waiting to hear from that.  The interview went well, she asked him for references.  And now we wait.

A tutoring opportunity has come up in the area and if either of us wants that job, we have to speak up by the end of the week.

We went to an AMIA conference this past weekend where we learned of another opportunity that we have teaching abroad.  If God has this planned for us, I think we could leave as early as this summer.

That evening (after learning of the opportunity to teach abroad), it was told to Michael, from a lady not knowing about this possibility said that God would tell us "when."  Bam.  God will tell us when to go.  We just have to seek Him in all of this. 

I'm trying to keep my mind from thinking too much because I have a tendency to think about how things would work out perfectly and then handle them too much to where my will doesn't exactly line up with God's will anymore.

So I'm trying to stay out of it.

God, take these opportunities and do as you please.

It's exciting to suddenly have these opportunities flying around.  God has been so good to us.  He has been so faithful.

My best friend is flying to Korea tomorrow.  She will be there, teaching ESL, for a year.  I could be jealous.  As, I will admit, I have been of various friends who have gone overseas during the course of this last year.  However, God has given me peace and acceptance.  Yes, I would love to be one of the ones traveling to Asia one of these days.  But today, I am here and I am happy for my friend.  I will miss her but she has such an exciting year ahead of her and I'm glad that God has guided her to this point of total trust in Him.  Of trust enough to go to the other side of the world and live a life of adventure through Him. 

And who knows, maybe we'll be over there before the year is out.
