Well it has been awhile again. It appears to be spring already, although it seemed to be all along.
Where have I been since the last post? Adjusting is the best answer I can think of. I am in love with my new job, but man has there been a learning curve. Not only is there a learning curve for the paperwork and logistics, but a learning curve about the world. I didn't necessarily think I was sheltered growing up although I knew I was blessed. I have quickly learned that it is a huge city, a huge country, a huge world. Maybe I was just secluded to our little area of Nashville but I had no idea that the city was so big. Now I have seen what seems like every inch of the city including the good, the bad, and the ugly.
What lesson am I learning as I travel through the neighborhoods of my sweet kids? We are always in the mission field. My eyes have been opened to the needs of others, the needs of this world.While my job does not always allow me to incorporate my faith, my prayers can continue. How do so many of us live like I do, not even realizing the poverty, pain, and uncertainty that lives right down the street? Other than my constant prayers, I don't know what my plans are. However, I know God brought me to this job for a reason far greater than developmental therapy. I pray that we all look around and see others right in our backyards that need our love, prayers, and the knowledge of Jesus.
