Best laid plans

It has been too long. Oh, well. I'm learning I can't please everybody, or accomplish everything I want to. I can't fix the world's problems, and need to narrow my goals. (In other words, so I can say "no" once in a while, and make lists of things that need to be done...to prioritize.)

Job front, I've accepted a teaching position at Cornerstone Christian Academy in Fayetteville, NC. School starts August 11th. I never thought it would go through, but I also got a call to teach at a school in Sydney Australia, start date for June/July 2011. As far as I know, I'm going to leave mid June for Sydney next year.

Something I learned during college is that the Lord has his own plan. I'm not fearful about this (which is my emotional way of showing a lack of faith) so unless the Lord changes things it looks like close to this time next year I'll be down-under. :) I would rather wait to be sure about Sydney, but the school there needed an answer for their recruiting purposes. I know the Lord will help me keep my word.

I also need the Lord to help me focus on the tasks at hand, and help me be 100% in Fayetteville this school year. I've been able to visit twice and love the people. They are very kind. The more I meet my brothers and sisters in Christ the more overwhelming I realize that I long for the time when I'll never have to say good bye.
