What a Week
Here’s a rundown of our week, as far as we know what it holds for us as of now:
Monday – We received the official invitation from Tanzania…a couple hours later, we received word that West Eurasia is interested in us
The rest of the week will be filled with us trying to get more information from West Eurasia and hopefully making a decision between the two as soon as possible.
Wednesday – Hickory Grove’s mission committee meets to decide whether to support us or not
Thursday – We close on our house
Oh – and every day we have training classes all day…
That’s a lot going on in one week and usually I’d be pretty tempted to get anxious about all this…but I’m not. First of all, God knows exactly where we’ll be going so we’ll just be still and wait for Him to tell us. It’s also God’s decision on whether He wants to use Hickory Grove in supporting us so we rest in that. As we left the house for the last time tonight, we let go of the burden of owning a house and hung onto the memories we made there so we’re totally at peace with the closing on Thursday.
I think back to my spiritual lesson learned from the poodle (see 11/12 blog entry). I could whine, fight, rush ahead, and squirm….or I could quietly, gracefully, calmly get through this week and watch God work, guide, and speak. Like I said before, I hope I’m smarter than a dog and learned my lesson. So far, so good. 
The LORD is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer; My God, my strength, in whom I will trust; My shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold. ~Psalm 18:2
