For those who actually read my updates, which I am assuming are few, a lot has happened in the last few weeks! I have watched Mike graduate twice; once from Camp Forest Springs and one from Grace University! I am very proud of his accomplishments, he [we] has worked so hard to get to this point!
The question that has been asked so many times to us lately is, what's next? We wish we had some great story to tell about what our next adventure is; however, God is still testing our patients. He has yet to guide us in a clear direction, so for now we wait. Which I am learning becomes much more difficult the longer I have to wait. In the midst of our waiting we will be enjoying a wonderful cruise vacation with Mike's parents. We leave in 2 days and I am VERY excited. We have never been on a cruise before, so needless to say we are anxious to get on board. After the cruise we will be celebrating my sister's wedding in South Carolina and spending some extended time with my family. We have not had the opportunity to spend extended time with my family recently, so I am very excited for that as well!
While there are fun times just around the corner, I can't help but be anxious about the future. God has reminded me of 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 in these last few weeks. This is a passage that I hope to practice and master some day, but am realizing how difficult it is at times. I cling to these words:
"Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus."
