I've been quiet the last couple of weeks. My brain has just been busy mulling things over. I've wanted to wait until everything was final and I had a start date, but not telling people was a way of leaving myself an escape route. So, here goes. I've decided to go to school in the hopes of becoming a teacher. I know, I took long enough to decide. I mean, I'm almost 33. All I can really say is that this fits with the preparation that needs to be done to receive God's blessing. I originally thought I would do it all online, but am going to see someone about a less expensive way to do this. I'm preparing for a blessing, I want to do that with as few burdens as possible.
Oh, I did get a job. It's a part time job, two evenings during the week and two afternoon/evenings on the weekend. So, I should still be able to do the school work. The funny thing is, this is a job I was passed over for a month or so ago. However, God's timing is right. If I had started the job then, I might not have been where I needed to be regarding school. His ways are perfect.
All that being said. I sometimes find myself struggling. Sometimes it's difficult justifying going to the church of my choice, or should I say it's easy to justify not going due to the amount of time and gas and inconvenience to my loving, supportive husband. Unfortunately I have found that when I don't have that fellowship and renewing that it's easy to fall back into bad habits. Even the good habits I have developed get done with less passion. The longer I go without the connection the harder it is to go back.
Jeremiah 8 really hit home today, especially vs. 4-17. http://www.youversion.com/bible/jer.8.11.kjv
It hurts Him and there will be consequences. God strengthen me. Guide my steps. Pour out your peace. Let your forgiveness and love flow through me.
