Big Day

I can't think about big days without thinking of my dear friend, Suzanne. Suzanne is currently living out her dream overseas with the journeyman program. She walked through a crazy time while she was living with me (and a rotating crew of other roommates) for two years. I got to see her pursue her dream and she saw me pursue mine. I love you Suzanne!

On to the big day mentioned in the title... Monday is a big day. Elizabeth and I are going to our orientation meeting to get the wheels really rolling on our foster parenting plan. I am overwhelmed and overjoyed at the same time.  I am ready to move forward in the process, but I feel like I hit a wall on Friday. A wall of sickness that is. I have junk in my lungs and my head is full of crud. My voice disappeared by the time 4th block was over.

I'm just praying that two days of rest, movies, the first season of Glee, and TONS of water will keep from having to reschedule.  I'm ready to get the ball rolling. To see action towards the goal that God has placed so clearly on my heart.  But if not, He is in control. He is faithful and trust Him is what I will do.

"But I trust in your unfailing love, my heart rejoices in your salvation. I will sing unto the Lord for He has been good to me." Psalm 13:5-6

As a side note - Monday was our first day back at school. A kid walked up to my last period (and hardest class) and said "It's my favorite class and I've had to wait ALL day!" Small moments of joy, my friends. Small moments. :)

So proud of you on following where the Lord has called you and as you continue to walk in faithfulness (even though sometimes blindly and in the dark), He will respond to you with all that you have truly have needed- each and every day! Can't wait to see this journey continue to unfold!
