The Lord has shown me an open door!! I have been approved to stay in Spain for another semester! It's something that has been on my heart for several weeks, and now I know where the Lord is guiding me. I know it's right, because there were, once again, a million things that had to work out. In some ways, this is the easiest decision ever, because I am simply trusting the Lord… in other ways, it’s difficult only because it’s a little bit sad.
But everything that makes it a little bit sad is very selfish,… and if I can plant or water even just ONE seed for the Lord that eventually sprouts and grows, that’s SOOO worth it! I'm just trying my best to follow Him very purposefully. I know His plan is so much better than anything I could ever come up with, and He is ALWAYS unbelievably good. I’m striving to completely trust Him, and He’s continuing to hold me. A good friend recently said to me, “There’s not enough time in this world to be sad for things when you can be glad on the flip side.” I think that pretty much hits it on the head. :)
It's pretty cool, because as soon as I posted the last blog asking for prayers and talked to a few close prayer buddies, and really just petitioned the Lord for an answer, it was no time at all until I had one. :) Thank you all so much for all your prayers, support, and encouragement. God is soooo good. All the time.
Love!
Philippians 4:4-7
