Patience.
So, Daniel and I are currently learning how to wait patiently on the Lord. We are praying that God will show us what our next step is, and we are having to wait. I love that I haven't been able to move on from "Love is Patient" I am thoroughly convinced God wants me to learn this one! Haha! Our future is so unpredictable right now so we are having to lean fully on God which is exactly where he wants us so I guess that's good. Right now the options for our next step are limitless. Daniel could end up being hired full time and Novozymes, or he could go back to Wal Mart long enough to go to school to be an EMT-I, or he is also considering joining the navy or coast guard. His heart longs to help people by being a doctor and I believe with all my heart that if that's where God wants him then that's exactly where God will put him. We are just unsure of how to get there. For me, I am currently a substitute teacher at Cross Creek Charter in Louisburg. I have a passion for becoming a Medical Sonographer (Ultrasound Technician) that only God could have given me, but my going to school lies solely in where Daniel says we need to go (or if we need to stay). Pray for us please!
