Today starts another Monday for the work week, and unlike a lot of normal people, I enjoy Mondays. Today I teach some key Bible truths and lessons to 3 students over at Philomath Middle School during 7th period. Normally, we'd have more than 3 students in this class, but the whole "7th period" thing is a big issue for lots of potential attendees, whose class during that period is either really hard or really important. Anyway, these students are my favorite to teach, because I can actually relate to them and see the changes that God's word is having on their lives. As well, Mondays are the day that I do LOTS of stuff on the computer at the CEF office, and if you didn't already know, I ABSOLUTELY LOVE WORKING WITH COMPUTERS!
As well, Mondays are my "check-in" day with one of my really good friends. She's going through a lot, and I've taken it upon myself to try and help her out whenever I can. So, Monday mornings, I send her an email and see whats happening, how I can pray for her, and remind her that God is always there ready to help.
Speaking of God helping, my application to Children's Ministries Institute has been accepted and all that's left for me to do is get ready to go. Which means paying the advanced reservation fees, buying new clothes to fit within the dress code, reserving plane tickets...oh, and raising all the money needed to do all those things and pay for the school. The estimated cost is $5500, I've already saved up $1000, and working up until the departure date should net me $3500 that I can apply towards the cost. Which leaves an extra $1000 to come from wherever God wants it to. Of course, all of the funds are in His hands, so if He truly wants me to go (everything I've seen so far makes the answer to that a "yes") then He will provide the funds I need.
Now as for the title of this post, "Continued Direction". As I stated last post, God showed me what is behind the stained-glass door I've talked about. And now I've been waiting patiently to see when God would have me open the door. He still hasn't showed me, but His timing is not ours, and if He wants me to open it later, then I will continue to wait until that time comes. Regardless, I feel as if the time to open the door is really close. When it does, and I finally open it, I'll be sure to post the results here on my blog.
Until next time, Godspeed!
