One chapter ends and so did my laptop! Long sigh...


Hello, my people!  So I decided to start this post off with a title.  I'm not sure why it's taken me so long to do that but it just felt right today.  As you can read by the title, yes my laptop is having a difficult time right now.  Probably due to all the stress and strain of school.  I just don't think that it could take it anymore.  Actually, I had it checked out and I think that it will cost more than what I want to pay to fix it.  So, I'll probably have to look for a new one!  Ugh, so sad!

But, enough about my poor laptop.  Now you know that I have to give you guys an update and a lesson too!  I received my TESOL certificate in the mail.  FINALLY!  There was a bit of a hiccup to receive it but it is finally in my hands.  Haha...sorry I will try and compose myself.  But, all joking aside this truly has been a crazy experience.  From start to finish it all really challenged me on so many different levels.  I started this journey doing several different things all at one time.  I was still learning the Korean language with my tutor, singing in the choir and the vocal team at church, helping a friend with his English on Wednesday nights and on Thursdays nights; being with my crazy drama team!  Whew, I'm worn out just writing all of that.

There were a few of those that I had to give up.  I was trying to do all of them at one hundred percent.  Well, it was such a good thought!  You know what happened after that, right?  When you are trying to do too many things all at once you slowly wear yourself out.  I began to resent being involved with a few of them.  I started to treat them like a job and not as a ministry.  It is hard for me to say this but it was exactly how I felt.  God was also painting a very large picture for me to look at.  He was allowing me to see myself.  He also showed me that it was time for me to let go and focus on what was in front of me.

You know, God has an amazing way of preparing us for the next project.  He gives us time to let go of the things that we think we may need in order to give us something else.  It's like God giving us a new tool for a new task.  If we hold onto the old tool how are we supposed to start the new task in front of us?  I'll tell you that it is hard for me to give up things.  I think because I don't want things to change or I really don't want to disappoint anyone.  Is that way of thinking helpful though?  Probably not. The new chapter that God prepares us for is about us being willing to be used by him.  Change is a continuous thing.  It will always happen no matter where you are at in your life.  And where I am right now is in the chapter of WAITING!  Oooo, it's a hard one.

I'm not sure where you are at in your life but maybe it's time to ask yourself this question.  What is the next task that God is preparing you for?  You might be surprised by his answer.

Until next time.....
