Learning...

So... like so many before me, I start a weblog, and then leave it be. I had grandiose ideas about getting on here every day or so and typing up my thoughts through this process.

WELL, I'm over a month into this thing. Not much written yet, but to tell you the truth, it's taken a bit of time to process this process, or whatever it is. In any case, I'm ready to write about one of the more recurring themes from the last month...

Faith. I spent the early part of June hurrying to get my resume out and check out every possible lead in the nation. There were like three jobs out there, and I didn't get any of them. And then someone told me to slow down and enjoy this 'process' - to not miss out on what God might want to teach me through this ordeal.

So the latter part of June, while exhausting even more leads and checking out every single college in Kansas and Missouri, I realized that I wasn't going to find something right away - that I was going to have to wait on God. I should keep looking, but really trust that God will open the door when it's God's time. And he knows what's best for me - his timing is perfect.

That's the test, really. Will I 'faith' God to bring me safely to the next thing? Will I trust him to show me where and what it is? I feel peace about it as July begins. Ask me in a few months ;)
