Well...I have determined my next thing. I'm moving. I've been praying about it for several months (if not for the past 2 years), and things have just finally fallen into place. You see...I think God finally hit me over the head with a tack hammer. Recently, I had been telling some of my friends that no matter how crazy your authority is, you should trust that God will protect you if you obey...ie. if you're under His authority, then you're under His protection. Well...one night, Mom and I were having a discussion, when I realized that I wasn't under my authority. She was saying "it's time," and I was saying, "oh, you don't know." Umm...Hello?!? Anyway...so...all these doors started to open, and even though I don't know what I'm doing, or why, I know that I should take each step as it comes.
It's a strange feeling. People have asked, "are you excited?" Well...I'm not sure. Others have asked why on earth I'm moving out. All I can say is that it's the next step and that it's time. Other than that, I don't know. That's what's strange. I'm not one that adapts to change easily, and I very seldom step out without having the next 10 years mapped out, etc. But I'm learning. And I am excited to know that I'm moving as God directs. And that's enough for me.

Hello to you...
Just thought i would say hi since a rather convoluted path led me to your blog site. Was listening to one of my favorite speakers named Ravi Zacharias (You may know of him)...Anyway he quoted a rather nice and well thought out poem by Amy Carmichael. I had to replay the section where he mentioned her name several times in order to get it right. I then did a web search for the poem and after several tries to find someone who may have posted it I ended up on your blog site. So simply wanted to tell you that story since i have enjoyed reading some of yours posted on the site and thank you for posting the poem...its the one that ends "make me your fuel, Flame of God".
So here is a "shout-out" from Matt in Fremont, CA. God Bless and may Christ guide all your steps. Good luck with the move...:)
where are you? why didn't we talk on the phone this past thurs? did you see previews for the next ER? noah's back!!
First of all, I apologize. It seems I tripped and fell off the face of the earth, and have finally reached the surface again. Second: Matt: thanks for the encouragement. I'm glad there is someone else out there who likes Amy Carmichael. There is a book of her collected poems. I think it's called Mountain Breezes, or something like that. Leigh Anne: I just left you a message. So, tag, you're it.
