The Near Future Plan

I haven't blogged in a week and some of that has been a slight malaise that I've felt in the past several days. It's good to try to get my brain thinking right now. If you're trying to keep track of what we're doing, we have made a decision that for the near future God has grabbed our hearts and rooted us in the Tri-Cities. During our time away we have had time to rest and reflect. Our hearts (independently) have been drawn back to the NW.

I realize that this could change, but I think all of our family is eager to return home. What we'll do while there is still up in the air, but I am finding myself eager to see how the Lord will provide for us during this time. I have found myself eager to return to substitute teaching in the public schools and recently I've been contacted with some speaking opportunities. Perhaps the combination will be how the Lord supplies our need.

At this point I still very much feel called to "wait" to watch for the unfolding of the road that the Lord has for me, and that has excitement as well as endurance attached to it. Tomorrow I'll share about an experience I had on Wednesday that was both disappointing and stirring regarding this.

For tonight, I'm thrilled that Jessica and I both feel that the Tri-Cities are the place the Lord is laying on our hearts right now. One of my prayers for us is that we would be united in spirit -- whatever decision we made. God has been very good to us, indeed.
