So I am supposed to head to TN on Friday. Through prayer, I've decided to stay a few extra days. I'll have more time to spend with family (blood and non), and it'll be less stressful for me. I don't really want to go to that audition in Nashville, so I'm not going to. There's no point. : )
I went to a wonderful Bible study today, I went to a wonderful Bible study Wednesday, and I'm looking forward to even more fellowship.
I have started (and need to finish) applying to grad school. I will seek an MA in Biblical Counseling. And I'm excited about it. It's one of the few things that I know I should do in the next year. The school is Luther Rice University and Seminary, but I will be doing all of my studies online. I will not be on campus at all, and it only takes a year to complete. I'm pretty stoked.
The Lord has been revealing wonderful signs of the next few steps approaching on my path. But I'm grateful to just be resting for a little bit. : )
Even so, I do look forward to having a permanent place where I can keep spices, ingredients, and utensils to cook for myself and friends. And I look forward to the potential of a normal life in which I actually can do those things...as opposed to cooking on Sunday, and eating that food for dinner during the rest of week because of being at a theater for dinner.
I've visited a few places that played a part in my past, in my days of following the flesh. And it's neat to see the fruit that Christ has produced in me since then. I no longer have a love for the things my flesh loved, and that's quite a reason to praise God. I don't remember consciously trying to change specific desires that have changed - it's pure evidence of God's word.
Praise God, from whom ALL blessings flow. Selah.
