a couple weeks ago a great friend called and told me she was moving to thailand! i was completely ecstatic for her, though at the same time i started thinking that that's what i want to do. i hadn't really been looking into overseas teaching because they mostly require that you raise support. but some of these positions not only paid you enough to live locally, they assisted with your debt repayment! perfect! so of course i started making a profile immediately, getting a little caught up in the moment.
but i started praying. too often i make decisions and feel that because it worked out that it was God's will. for this choice i wanted to make sure it was what God wanted me to do. and i just wasn't feeling that peace. i really wanted to press the button to apply for those jobs, but stopped just in time.
moving overseas is such a great desire of mine. why would God not want me to move when i'd be doing his work?
so i talked to God about it, asking him the same question. but the question that i was then asked was what i would be willing to sacrifice in order to remain faithful to God. would i give up getting married? would i surrender moving overseas and stay in america if that's what God asked of me?
i would. though it kind of sucks. and i'm not sure that God will ask these things of me, but i will remain faithful if He does.
still the question of the future remains. all God asks of me is to trust him. pray that i will!
