Patiently waiting: Psalms 27:14

I wanted to post another short blog. Its been one month and I want to tell you where I am at now. I have been learning so much this past month of being home. It has been a very hard time being away from the babies. I truly do miss them. But as I am home I am trying to continually look to God for what He wants for me in the future. However, right now I feel like God is just telling me to "Be still and know that He is Lord." This is very hard for me because I am one to want to constantly be moving...doing something. This song comes to mind regularly when this urge of wanting to do something:

Strength will rise as we wait upon the Lord, wait upon the Lord, we wil wait upon the Lord. You reign forever, our home, our strong deliverer. You are the everlasting God, the everlasting God. You do not faint, you won't grow weary. You're the defender of the weak, you comfort those in need, you lift us up on wings like eagles.  

I am just trying to patiently wait on the Lord for many different answers. God is good and I want to trust and obey Him constantly throughout my life. There are so many opportunities that I am looking forward to but for now I must wait:) 

Prayer Request:
    -This school year is packed full with wonderful opportunities...pray that I will be strong and focused on what I need to do and not get overwhelmed. 
   - For patience with all the things I want to do but I know I am to wait upon the Lord. 

 The more I look around me here its amazing the things I can do right down the road from me. So many times I get caught up and think I need to travel to another country to do things for God but in reality America needs to see His love just as much South Africa, India, Russia, etc.



Thank you all for your support and encouragement throughout my whole life and especially during this time of my life where I am just growing so much!
