Tired

I have felt so tired the past few days. Feel like I can't get enough sleep and can't get everything done! UGH... For anyone reading this, please pray for God's guidance and peace to our family. Looks like being hired full time this year isn't a possibility and we need some direction. More importantly, I need a full time job next year.

What's next?!

We just got back from ABF at church (adult bible fellowship) and I'm left with the question "what's next?" Our teacher, Craig Kelly, talked about his recent mission trip to Ethiopia. It was so touching to see the photos and hear the stories of heartbreak and success. I learned of how being rich over there is earning $30 a month....WOW. I literally wanted to fall out of my chair, lay prostrate on my face, and ask forgiveness for the anxiety I let enter my heart and house over money. I have so much and yet complain about not having enough. I am overweight because I am never without a meal and yet I often say "I don't have any money" or "I'm starving." Seriously, I don't think I've ever truly felt starvation. These sweet children come to school for their one meal a day consisting of rice.And so...Craig left us with the question "what's next?" How can I impact this world of mine? How can I live differently? I have a few ideas of what "I" think I want, but it'll be interesting to see how God uses this year to answer my question of "what's next?"
