Only Time Will Tell...

This blog might come as a shock to some...and obvious to others. To me, this blog is neither a gasp, nor a sigh. It is a consent. A nod of the head. A surrender of obedience.

My life has been a bit of a road map. Texas to Korea, Korea to Texas, Texas to Louisiana, Louisiana to Romania...and now, Romania to Texas. I'm glad I never held back once in Romania, because I never thought that my last week there would be my last...for awhile. I am happy to say that I am leaving without regrets.

A senior pastor in Italy asked me one time, what it was like to be a missionary in a foreign country. My reply was, "The Truely remarkable thing about being a missionary isn't that God moves you halfway around the world to change it...but that God is willing to move you halfway around the world to change you." And I can say that I am changed. However, once again, I find myself halfway around the world. In many ways, Texas feels like another foreign country.

For a long time, I have really desired to get a college education. This dream of mine had to be put on hold for awhile. God's ways are above my ways, and his thoughts are above my thoughts. It was His choosing for me to wait on my education. At the end of my last term in Romania, I could sense that it was in His time for me to pursue an education. As of now, I am enrolled in West Coast Bible College and studying for a Bachelor's in Biblical Counseling. Due to all of my time spent in Master's, I should be able to get my degree in 1-2 years! It is a personal dream of mine to go all the way up and get my doctorate. I hope this all works out that way.

In light of this, I have a great peace about staying in Texas. I'm actually really excited about getting to plant my roots here, and about what new things God will change in me. I'm excited about getting to work more closely with the Elevate youth, and I'm excited to be apart of the vision for Christ Church.

Am I finished with Romania?

Will I ever return?

Well....

Only time will tell...

But I don't believe this was my last.
