Its been a while since i posted anything. I graduated from medical assistant school this past week and now find myself with way too much free time. In that free time i have been stressing a little over what the next chapter in my life will be. I have been in Tyler Texas my whole life.. its home. But iv never felt like i really belong here. My heart has always been to go experience life and create my life according to wherever God takes me. One of my favorite songs is by Chris Tomlin, "Here am i, all of me, Take my life its all for Thee".. Ive had so many thoughts go through my head in the past few weeks of places i could go, or stay where im comfortable and have people that i love. My life is so good and easy here in Tyler. But i dont think i want easy..
So today has just been filled with God moving and working things out. It started this morning on my way to work i was thinking of what il be doing next year, and debating on moving or staying.. this and that. So like a typical girl i txt my best friend and asked her to be honest with me if she thought i should move or not. her reply was.. "i would miss and and i honestly dont want you to move, but part of me thinks it would be good for you. and sometimes i feel like Tyler is holding you back.." She was right. im just so scared to make a move and do something without knowing how it will turn out or being alone. I prayed about it alot..
Then tonight around 9:30 someone knocked on my door.. Kim Tunnell (the lady who led our mission team to Africa this july) and her husband came in and she sat me down to tell me that the zambia government has given "us" 430 acres of land and wants us to build missions and places to teach the people and help the country and communities to grow and learn to provide for themselves. now i dont know all the details and who all "us" is containing. but this is BIG NEWS!
First, for the governement to even give that much property, and then out of everyone known.. to give it to some people from Van texas.
The lease would be for 99 years and the land is all over parts of zambia. It would take alot of work and money to clear the land, build stuctures, ect.. But it is an amazing opportunity that could be a huge success if handled correctly.
God has plans for this, and i have no doubt that i am part of it. Kim went on to tell me that they are planning on going back this coming summer for another mission trip and for me to pray about this opportunity and follow what God lays on my heart. After all the prayers ive sent up to God about helping me decide my future He sure is moving fast and making things clear to me. I will continue to pray and see where this leads. God is so good and NEVER fails to amaze me and bless me, though i deserve nothing.
