WAITING ROOM.

Paperwork to Gallaudet University....
Paperwork to Atlanta Area School for the Deaf...
Paperwork to Sertoma...
All done.
I can practically see the "light" in a new direction getting brighter and brighter, I just don't actually know where it's taking me yet. I'm thankful I know where ever and when ever I get there.... God is in control. I can't do better than that. I would not do better than that.

Waiting isn't always easy, but it's a test in itself. A test God has prepared me to pass. I have to remember that. He wants me to be successful and victorious. He also wants me to persevere for His Namesake's. He wants that for all of us.

When my attitude is transformed for, "How should I prepare to not get this/or ____ to happen?" and in to "Where God puts me is on purpose. Where I am is on purpose. If not this then something. If this then He wants it too and it's GOOD!...What God is doing is on purpose", then the waiting feels more productive... more, purposeful too. It feels right. What is God doing right NOW that I can be learning and growing from? What can I be doing to strengthen and grow my faith too right NOW? How can I better TALK to God about what's going on...?

Right now I pray, wait, and listen/look/hope..... I make the most of opportunities and relationships. I strive to make the most of each day...

I have a peace about waiting and new found excitement. After all, two years ago I was "too chicken" to apply to Gally. But I feel like if I don't at least try, then I won't. The opportunity to study at (the best) sign language school (in the world) is.... wow, it leaves mes speechless. Go figure, right? :D And I want God to do extrordinary things, so how can I expect to be unwilling to do try and to extraordinary things? I don't think it works that way always.... God wants us to be courageous! I am willing to play the background, I am willing to step up to the frontline however He calls me, and I ultimately am willing to be HIS. I want to in fact, for the Glory of Him, to do extraordinary things.

Saying, "That's TOO GOOD or TOO HARD", mocks the potential of what God can actually do in my life or in anyone's life. We should love and live humbly, love and live not for ourselves........ God says, "Do not worry about how or what you should speak. For it will be given to you in that hour what you should speak; for it is not you who speak, but the Spirit of your Father who speaks in you"(Matthew 10:19-20).

I didn't know a few months ago this would all be changing and happening. So, this is exciting to see where the anticipation and initial waiting has led me. Now, I am patiently anticipating the next big change! It's unknown.... but it's going to become known! Jesus says in Matthew 10:26, "Therefore do not fear (them). For there is nothing covered that will not be revealed, and hidden that will not be known."
