My list of what I'm waiting for is really boiled down into one thing. I am waiting for my life to begin. I have always been curious--even a little anxious--to see what God has planned for my life. I am so thankful to know that my purpose is to minister to youth. But I just wish it would begin already! I know that seminary is a part of this process, I know that I am right where God wants me to be, but I feel like I am in a holding cell. Most of the time I hate school. I love the education I am getting, and I even love the majority of my professors. But I am eager to get out and do what I am being prepared to do. And now that we have friends who are graduating and going off to their places of ministry I want to be doing that too. I want to know where God is going to send us, what the church (or other ministry) will look like, and begin leading a ministry. Gentry and I hope to move back to Florida to be with family and friends, but we know that this may not happen. We are doing our best to be content with wherever it may be that God sends us. But this waiting and not knowing makes me very anxious at times. It is so hard to just wait.
But maybe waiting is a good thing. Maybe contentment is a discipline I need to learn. Waiting on the Lord and resting in his good purposes might not be such a bad thing.
