what's next

being that I am a recent graduate from a second master's program the hottest question for people to ask, "what' s next?"
Well, that's a fantastic question. I'll tell ya what I do know. I know that in one week I'll be headed off to some beach in the South. Fun in the sun? you ask, well, valid guess being that I have just spend time, money, and lots of brain power into academics - but alas, no. I am going to work. I have a summer job. wa-hoo! I'll be working with teenagers teaching them to paint, construct, and do lots of other types of manual labor, all with the purpose of meeting physical needs so that their spiritual needs might be met. I am very excited about this summer and look forward to all that God will do. His power is made perfect in my weakness.

After the summer? you ask, that's still up in the air. I am looking, but I know from experience that the right thing will come at the right time. I have been rejected from what I considered my dream job, but as it turns out I was being held back because something bigger and better was on the horizon. man, there is so much to tell from that experience, but I will spare the details till later.

so I wait. As I wait I will be yelling and screaming at youth as they run the crazy messy mega relay. I will be covered in paint and sharing the Truth with everyone around. I couldn't ask for anything better. what an honor! It will be hot and I will be tired, but I am so ready for this challenge - and of course, the blessing of being poured out.

what a way to "wait"!
