Waiting on the Lord

This is something I have been meaning to write about now for over two weeks... see I really do procrastinate!

Every time I go to Michigan, I get sooo nostalgic. I went about two and half weeks ago, and of course, I got way nostalgic (PS, Congratulations to Paula and Ross, about time you two got married!). I always walk away thinking "I could find a job up here. Move back right now. It will be like college again."--> HA! Things change...

Then, I need God to bring me back to what He has been telling me for the last year. He has called me to North Carolina. He wants me to put down roots, to LIVE here. I may not like my job, but this is what brought me to the place where He wants me. That much I know, and have felt this since I moved down here. That lesson, or confirmation, just gets a little cloudy every time I go back because I loved Michigan so much, and I loved my time there, and I love the people there.

Well, God never ceases to keep me reminded of what He has told me...

a couple of days after I got back, I went to The Gathering, one of the points in Brian's talk that night was:

"In Light of His Sovereign Power Over All Things, We Can Learn to Patiently Wait in His Determined Place, at His Determined Pace"

WHOA.

Yes, so I am learning to wait in His Determined Place (me in Durham/Raleigh right now) at His Determined Pace (I don't know when I will be out of the job that I am not in love with BUT, I won't be He forever. I know that).

God, thanks for reminding me of your truth, teaching me patience, and allowing me to be comforted even when I don't fully understand.
