For those of you who still follow this blog, the story with that guy is turning out so well. We continued to date and get to know each other. In December Stewart asked me to marry him and I happily said yes. On March 25th, we got married. I'm so grateful that God gave me this kind and Godly man to walk by my side and for the life I'm getting to live. My mission is still the same, I'm just doing it on a different mission field than I thought. I'm still seeking to love God and people. I'm still seeking to encourage those around me and be the servant God has called me to be. Thank you to everyone who has loved and supported me on my missions journey. I'm so thankful for the adventure God gave me and for the people like you who cheered me on. Thanks for continuing to cheer me on in this new adventure of marriage. May God continue to bless and encourage you. Happily Married, Rose
Once again, God has been faithful to lead, although it wasn't where I was hoping. The original plan was that I would come home from YWAM, work for two months, spend lots of time with family, fundraise to become a missionary, and be back at YWAM by mid August. This week that plan changed. It really hit me that I don't have the monthly support to return. This was hard. I went to God and asked Him what I should do. He said to stay. While this wasn't what I envisioned, I trust His plan and His guiding hand. I'm going to be staying at least until October. Right now I will continue to work at the preschool, love on family, and seek out God's best plan. Over the next few weeks I'm going to be seeking God and asking Him what Is best plan is. In the meantime, I have an exciting event to look forward to. My brother is getting married in September! I'm so excited for my brother and his lovely fiancee. They both love the Lord and are perfect for each other...
This week I was gumpy at work, I tried not to let it show, but it was there all the same. At first I didn't know why work was ticking me off. As I prayed I realized what was going on. Unless God moves in a mighty way (which I've seen Him do before), I won't be able to go back to YWAM in mid August like I had hoped. This week I was struggling with that disappointed hope. While I know that God is working all things for my good and He ultimately has control of where I go, it hit me that I wouldn't get back there as soon as I want to. Something that has softened this realization is that I am in a good place. With God, at home, and in life. God and I have a great relationship, I have a great home to live in, and I'm thriving in relationships. God is good. Ultimately even if I don't get to go back to YWAM as a missionary, I can trust God's guiding hand. He has never failed me before and He will never fail me. So I can slip my hand into His and walk...
