1. I am considering alternatives to law school. Either a job in journalism (using my fabulous Missouri J-School degree! aha!) or a service-based job teaching kiddos in need somewhere in this great big country. I'm in the interviewing stages for a few different things, and still awaiting the response from a few law schools. In other words, no decisions have been made regarding my career/future/job etc. I'm getting SUPER impatient. In a good way, I know God is working out all the details for me as I sit here on this beautiful sun-shining day.
2. God is truly working on my heart. Next Wednesday I will officially become a member of The Crossing. I have a lot to add to this piece of info but basically - though it might be a short time - I think The Crossing is God's church, the larger body I feel drawn to be a part of, here in Columbia and I'm eager to contribute more as a devoted member rather than just an attendee of the beautiful worship services they hold each week. Like I said, I've been learning a lot in the past two months about The Crossing, and God has truly been transforming how I think about so many things. It's been wonderful. And a definite challenge.
3. Memphis is growing growing growing! He's over 40 lbs. We recently discovered he has a heart murmur, so he saved his little man parts for some time while the vet runs some tests to make sure it's minor and they can put him under anesthesia. He is a sweet little puppy, and I'm so excited to welcome the spring weather and get outside with him.
4. I have been a book-worm and I'm loving it. Just finished Redeeming Love, which I also have much to write in response to and am currently reading Along for the Ride. I've been taking advantage of the library and it has been a much needed little safe spot I can escape to now and then.
5. I am working like a crazy woman and it's finally starting to pay off! By July I should have all of my credit cards paid off as well as MY CAR! Woohoo! Considering getting a new one, but I really want to bask in the joy of no car payment for a while. I've readjusted my spending in HUGE ways for me, but it's been so rewarding. I'm grateful for the Lord's encouragement in this matter, it's been largely responsible for my commitment to finally be debt free :)
Today is a very good day. Now Tuesday, I was quite down and discouraged. But I stopped and prayed a beautiful prayer (adapted from Psalm 139, which I will eventually post), a gift from a woman in my bible study this winter and within an hour, God responded, literally. Like I said, the Lord is loud in my life right now and I will do all I can to keep Him that way :)
More to come, sorry for the brevity!
