Wow! Has it almost been a month! Oy oy oy, I need to do a better job at keeping this blog up!!! I’m sill in Regina, still trying to get accustomed to it (slowly…maybe…kinda…). Theres been days when I just cant imagine being anywhere else and I really love it here but those are far and few between. Mostly I’m homesick and just want to go home. I’ve never had homesickness before, so I have no idea how long it lasts but I hope it goes away SOON!
I have the opportunity to move to Norway for two years starting in January. This had been a dream of mine for three years and now that I have the chance…I’m sitting here hesitating about it. I’d love love love to go Norway. I think I would be extremely happy there. I can just imagine being there, seeing the fjords and the midnight sun, speaking Norwegian with people and not getting weird looks, being there for syttende mai….I’d love every single minute of it. …
But….that’s MY plan for me….not GOD’S plan for me.
Ya, sure I would love my plan for me and God would use it, but I am sure I will get more out of His plan for me…and God wants me here in Regina…*sighs*…..maybe I need to try and love Regina a little more and stop fighting it.
Maybe part of walking on the water is being where God wants you and enjoying it no matter what and fulfilling the purpose He has for you there and not going and running off and following your own plans (Many are the plans in the mind of a man,
but it is the purpose of the Lord that will stand.)
I’m where God wants me, being tested, being refined and being prepared for what God has in store for me. I need to stop looking for escape routes and excuses to leave.
Ohh and let me tell you, sometimes that refining hurts...hurts alot. I feel like I am being scraped down but I know in the end I will be more the person God wants me to be so its worth it. I feel blessed to have such sweet friends to be able to encourage me and help me through this time! I love you guys to bits! Hugs!
Shalom!
