  • Waiting Still

    I’m feeling impatient. I was just browsing (in other words snooping) around some old friends blogs. Now the reason this is making me feel impatient is because all of these friends are from bible school. All of their blogs reflect their ministy with NTBI and the exciting things that come along with a life speant in overseas missions. I am really eager to get back to the NTM training, I miss so much about it… I miss the atmosphere, the passion, the urgency.

    I know that Stephen and I are here in CO for a reason (save up money for Bible school), but sometimes (like now) I feel like I’m just killing time. So many of the people that I went to school with are doing things, mission things. They’re going, I’m staying. I know that Paul learned to “be content in every situation” and that’s what I should do too, be content that is. But I’m not. I guess I haven’t learned Paul’s lesson. However, even he had to learn it, so I guess there’s hope for me. Maybe that’s why I’m here, huh. Waiting. I know there are things, many things, that I have left to learn before I’m ready to go. And I’m sure there are things that I don’t see that God is teaching me on. So please pray for me, and for Stephen, as we  w a i t . . .
