"Faith never knows where it is being led, but it loves and knows the One who is leading." --Oswald Chambers

These days that is how I am feeling. I know WHO is leading, and I am trying very hard to trust, but things are moving very fast and I am feeling like life is spinning a bit out of control. An aquaintence of mine helped me decide that I am not having a mid-life crisis but rather a mid-life adventure! Feels like a little of both to me.

Last week I resigned from my job at Field's so that I can work at Appledorn Living Center. They are graciously letting me work on-call until after my trip to Korea!! All of my paperwork to register for classes at Hope is due this week and of course, all the Dutch stuff is coming due in the next few weeks! AHH!!

And this weekend I received the paperwork to get the ball rolling for my trip to Korea. I sent copies of my passport to the travel agency, made sure I have travel insurance, and sent in my preference not to sleep ondol style for a few nights. Ondol style means to sleep on the floor on a mat, in a more traditional style. I think I will be a bit too tired and need to just drop down on a bed when the end of the day comes.

But, through it all, I really feel that God has opened all the doors and led me to this--but I like to know ahead of time where I am going. And He hasn't always let me know that...and it's seems it's going to be that way with my responsibilities for Korea, too. And maybe that's because they can't be forseen. (I might be putting out fires as they arise, and we can't know what they are.) I just know that I am getting a little itchy about it!

I know I need to remember to enjoy the journey and trust Who is leading me, or the trip could be over before I have had a chance to enjoy it. I will have worried it away and not truly had the experience I could have.

On a less philosophical note, I got the cutest pj's for the trip tonight! See...that's enjoying the journey, right?! I always just wear one of Mike's big t-shirts and I thought my roomie deserved to have something a little nicer, so Younkers had some cute ones half price.

Thanks for listening to me ramble!
