Endless possibilities.

·

I have to do this one quick, as I have work in 30 minutes.

I went camping with my family this weekend, and during one of my conversations with my parents, the subject of what both of us are going to be doing came up. My parents are in the process of selling their house in order to go work with Kathy Carlson. She runs an orphanage for girls rescued from prostitution. It has been a dream of mother to work overseas since 1985. My dad has been following the dream with my mom since 1999. It has been an amazing story of obedience and change that perhaps I'll tell if you ask.

They will be doing a year-long language school, where soon after they will be placed in a ministry in Latin America.

But there is a snag: the house hasn't had any promising buyers. My parents know that the selling of their house will be in God's timing, as their isn't much that they can do beyond praying and advertising the selling of their house.

So my parents will be living in Montrose for as long as it takes to sell the house. Which my parents continue to supply their offer to let me live in the house.

So with that, I will be continuing to save up money to pay off my college student loans (18K+, donations accepted! ;-) ) in order that I may pursue the next phase of my life.

Which at this point, is narrowed down to these three possibilities:
1)Grad school, Youth Pastor
2)Grad school, Marriage and Family Counselor
3)YWAM Staffer

These three items are by no means static and are subject to almost definite change, but this is where I feel God leading me. I have about another year to pray and search God for my next step after June of next year. I really do have a plethora of opportunities. These three choices alone afford me the ability to travel to new places and meet new people. And I'm excited to see which materializes.

And yes, I just used the word plethora.
