It's Official...

The title says it all. It is official. I am not leaving for training until Spring 2008. But, I'm content. 100%. It took a lot of prayer, and God finally said to just wait. It will be good to go in the Spring because it will give me a chance to really raise support and say my goodbyes. Prayerfully I will have 100% of my support raised and pledged before February 2008. That way I will go to CIT and then go into the field by April or May.

A couple of other good things about not going until February is that I will be able to go to CIT with my teammates, Alex and Amanda (if they end up going then...). Also I will be able to get more involved at my new church home, Perimeter Church.

I was so stressed about raising support. I felt like God wasn't responding. But, the thing is, it was me who wasn't responding to Him. I was rushing Him, and He was just sitting there saying, "Just wait." I know that it is going to be a lot less stressful from here on out.

Please pray that I find a job close to home. I would rather not go back to The World of Coke (aka Church of Coke) because it is 30 miles from home and, well yea, it's 30 miles from home.

(Great picture huh? I typed in "Contentment" in google and this is what came up...)
