And so we wait

After finding out scholarship information, course requirements, and more about atmosphere at Trinity, we remain undecided. I function off of data and deadlines, as Andrew can attest to. And what the Lord graciously showed me this week is that He doesn't have to honor my time frames. We have examined all the angles of this decision, talked, researched, and analyzed what information we have. The thing we lack at this point is assurance. Andrew has not come to the point of being confident in one school, of having peace about choosing one school over the other. What are we waiting for? A critical point that will sway us in the favor of one school? Someone we respect telling us where to go? There is peace when one rests in the pursuit of God's will. And right now, we can't say that we know where we are being called to. And so now we pray to this end: That God will show us His will. And it probably won't be in a blatant sign like a huge scholarship or a sweet job. We wait for the quiet but resolved assurance that we are in pursuit of the ministry that the Lord is calling us to. We wait to see where the Lord wants to use us in these next years. It has certainly been difficult for me to wait for something that I can't really define. But I do know that to simply make a choice for the sake of a decision will result in a flimsy foundation to begin such a radical change of course. The Lord has given me the grace for today to not know where we will go, and to not know when we will choose, but to wait. And so we will wait and pray, and see what the Lord brings.
