I'm glad to have a "normal" week at church this week. I get to give a talk to my youth again tomorrow and I have really missed that time the last two weeks during break. We will be talking about prayer, something I need to remember to learn more about and do more often.
This new year is going to bring a lot of change, and I welcome it. My life for one is going to have some very busy and difficult times, but at this point, I am almost used to it. My sister and my sister-in-law are both having babies, due two weeks apart, and my baby sister's adoption is almost complete. More change, and I'm praying about how God wants me to continue with my personal ministry, which could potentially forever change my reality as well. If it is really what God is calling me to, I know he will make it work.
I don't really miss school anymore, but I really do miss studying and the accountability it brought. I really enjoyed my (Beth Moore) Bible Study and the lovely ladies in my group last semester, and I am looking forward to starting back up again in a few weeks. I love the "homework" 5 days a week and that it keeps me closer to God, and makes me think. I am the youngest by at least 15 years in this group and at least half are retired. I love how they often ask what I think about something when I am quiet.
I need so much more time in fellowship with other godly ladies. I had a great prayer group last night, and I really appreciate them as well. I'm so sad to realize that I have outgrown most of my mentors. It's hard to realize that some relationships are only meant for a season. But I know God will continue to put people in my path who can guide me in the right direction, and give me encouragement when I need it. And I now realize that whenever God does decide to bless me with a husband and children, he will still want me to be involved in some kind of ministry. I'm thankful for that and know with his help, I can be successful wearing many hats. But I'm so busy right now with my job and my other ministries, only God could find room to add to my full plate. This year is going to fly by so quickly!
Welcome 2011. I look forward to all you will bring.
