While my mom and I are opposites in many, many ways, it is a blessing how 2 very different personalities can be united in prayer, because we serve, worship, and love the same God. As I had mentioned in my last post, my mom and I have recently enlisted each other as prayer partners...and we both have a very important prayer request for the upcoming week.
Since October of this year, I had already been sensing that there will be some sort of big transition happening again in my family's life. It is becoming more and more apparent to me as time progresses, and this time, it has also become apparent to my mom. This coming week will be very exciting (but not easy), one that we'll be capable of facing by the grace and power of God. God has truly been directing our steps, and I am looking forward to that next step which we have specifically asked that He would reveal by the end of next week. We have been prayerfully waiting and seeking out His plan for our family, and there have been quite a few developments in the last week or so. Can I please be more concrete?
Okay - for example, I am strongly considering moving back to Hawai'i. My heart has always longed to go back, yet I find myself torn right now. I want to be absolutely sure that this is what God wants - it's not about what I want. It's not about me. I have asked, I have sought, and I have knocked. Now, all I have to do is trust God. I don't own the results, He does! Isn't that great?
I completely trust that He will direct our path just in time. I can't wait to blog about it and reflect upon it in the future, bringing to remembrance God's sovereignty and love. Which reminds me - exactly 20 years ago was the time our family had left Guam...and exactly 2 years ago was the time our family made a decision to leave Hawai'i. I'm such an island girl with an island fever!
