When I last wrote I was in a difficult place. I'll admit it, I was struggling. If you don't know what I'm talking about, read this post.
We've now passed the one year point where I felt like my world was falling apart. I don't mean that in an overly dramatic sense, really. But it really felt like everything I had worked for was lost. My perspective has changed so much in the last weeks and months. I'm working part time still, but today was a new beginning.
I started school again. This time for Accounting. Those that know me well probably know that I'm "good with numbers." I enjoy it, actually. So, I'm hoping I'll enjoy this. I'm not sure right now exactly where this is leading me, but it's the beginning of a new road.
I struggled for awhile with the thought that all of my work in my degrees for teaching was wasted. However, I firmly believe that God has a purpose in all things and has and will open doors because of this work. My passion for children has not wavered and I am excited to be serving in the Sunday School ministry at church to some pretty cute 4 and 5 year olds.
I think God is weaving all of these things together for the future. Like I said, I don't know what that means right now exactly. I kind of wish I did, but I'm working on being ok that I don't.
Someone recently told me when I said I was changing my course was that I probably wasn't really changing. Rather, I am expanding my course and God is so good at weaving it all together. I'm embarking on a journey I never expected...and I have to, absolutely have to TRUST, that God will be faithful to the end.
good perspective whitney. you already know how i think you you are one of the best people ever. you and jenna are cut from the same cloth. you both seek the face of God, and you will definitely see where His hand is in all this. great to see you trusting and going along for the ride.....enjoy the journey.
ReplyDeleteIt's good to catch up on where you're at, Whitney. You're in my thoughts and prayers. I'm glad to see you at peace and trusting in the Lord!
