As most of you know I made it back from China safely. I also graduated after passing my oral defense and am officially a College Grad!!!
The inevitable question now is: What am I going to do with the rest of my life?
Well let me tell you what the Lord has laid on my heart. For some time now China has been on my heart and after spending the last few months there I am convinced that is where God wants me to be. Though that may not be a forever kind of thing I am going to follow Him there once again this March. I have accepted a job at a university there teaching conversational English. The only problem I have now is getting there. I need a Visa which the university is going to pay for, and a plane ticket which I have to pay for. Currently I do not have a job and I have very little in the bank. I am hoping to start substitute teaching here soon but I can't really get my license for another few weeks (pending bureaucratic paper work). I will be looking for other options but I have some slim pickings here in good ol' C-bus.
So I see myself in China for the next few years then off to grad-school. I would like to go to a seminary and get my MDIV, but that is why I am not going straight into it. I would like to take 2 years to just live, and be out of academia for a while to see if this is where God really wants me to be.
I thank you all so much for your prayers while I was there last, and I ask for your prayers again as I prepare to leave over the next 2 months.
Some things you can be praying for:
1.) Money
2.) The students and staff I will be working with at the university
3.) Me - I have a lot of growing and maturing to do before I leave. I feel that I really REALLY need to strengthen my relationship with the Lord before I head back there.
4.) The community of great friends I left of whom I miss greatly. Pray that we will be able to strengthen each other and push each other closer to Him.
More soon as it unfolds...
