Have you ever felt completely at a loss as to where your life was headed? Yeah, me too. As a matter of fact - right now. Right now as I sit and type I have no idea where the Lord is leading me. I am sure that he is calling me out more and more in faith to follow Him to a different place. I know that He is calling me to be used to reach people, but I don't know where that place is. Really, I have no clue. There are several options that have made themselves available and many roads that I could go down, but I don't know which one.
And strangely enough, I am okay with that. There are many things going on in our lives right now with my feelings of going into ministry/missions, etc. and there also many outside circumstances occuring within our spiritual community that leave me confused and doubtful at times. But, I know that I serve an incredible God and that He has a plan. I have so many options ahead of me right now and I am in deep prayer over which way to turn - where He wants me to serve and what is best for my family. And the best thing is that I know He will answer - beyond a shadow of a doubt, I know that.
We are also winding up the school year - Jacob's homeschooling is almost complete, the girls are finishing up a ton of projects and we are anxiously awaiting summer break! We head out to South Dakota on June 10th to serve the people of the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation and then after we return I plan on getting two of my classes finished before we launch into another school year.
Two nights ago, the Lord gave me a Scripture and I will end my post with it. I pray that as we each face our own struggles and/or upcoming decisions, we will think about the wisdom God gives to us to make it through those times.
James 3:17-18 (New Living Translation)
17 But the wisdom from above is first of all pure. It is also peace loving, gentle at all times, and willing to yield to others. It is full of mercy and good deeds. It shows no favoritism and is always sincere.
18 And those who are peacemakers will plant seeds of peace and reap a harvest of righteousness.
