Waiting...and Waiting...and Waiting!

Honestly, I haven't written in this blog in a while because I felt like I had no new updates. Still not in Korea. Still waiting on God. Patience and trust is what he wants to build in me but boy do I fail often.

It's all good though. It's not like I created the world.

I really don't know or understand what God is up to, but he's getting me through each day. I've had a few more interviews and turned down a few more jobs, not because I was being picky, but because they were many clear signs that things weren't as they should be. I don't want to fly over to a country only to find out that I have no visa, apartment, or real school. Yikes! It's very frustrating but I'm okay. I'm still waiting for God's timing and applying like crazy. Last night I had an interview with another recruiter so we'll see where that goes.

My sis has come home to visit and gone back again to begin a new teaching position in Busan. We still talk on Skype almost every day and that has been awesome. There's nothing quite like having someone there to scout out the locations of schools for you and give you tips on what the warning signs are in a contract. It stinks that she isn't here and I'm not there so we can't continue our crazy antics in person, but it will happen again soon enough. I'm so thankful that she was here last week.

My grandmother is coming to live here in about a week so that should be fun...and interesting. She's coming to live with my mom and I am currently staying in her room. I'll be relocating to the couch or the air mattress so it's about to get real interesting. Now I know I've been here too long.  It's so weird that I've lived on my own in New Zealand, and then have come back to live with my mom. I feel antsy like I need to go back out in the world but the world is taking too long to accept me into a real job. I've begun packing for Korea so all I need right now is the job. I have all of my documents ready to go!

Ahh....God's timing.

I'm a few weeks away from the big 3-0. Surely I'll land a position by then, right?

There are many things I can talk about, but right now, this is what I'm reflecting on to keep my sanity:

"The Lord says, “I will guide you along the best pathway for your life.
    I will advise you and watch over you." Psalm 32:8

"But I am trusting you, O Lord,
    saying, “You are my God!”
 My future is in your hands..." Psalm 31:14-15a

I really don't know or understand what God is up to, but he's getting me through each day.
