application process

the key word here is process. process often implies that there is an amount of time involved. time often means waiting. waiting requires patience, prayer and seeking God. i am in process. i am waiting. i am at a crossroads with a decision to be made. i am seeking God for His leading in this decision.
the year here is coming to an end surprisingly quickly. grad weekend has come and gone with a whoosh. finals will be here in about 6 weeks. the weather is changing, people are getting restless and new beginnings, for summer and fall, are being decided upon.
the end of the year sometimes brings an end to a person's call to this particular ministry. this is the case with one of the girls' dorm parents here this year. with her feeling lead to leave, there is a position open for the fall. i have decided to apply for this position. i have been praying much in the last months about whether God wants me to continue here or not. it is my prayer at this time that His answer become apparent in the outcome of this application process. i ask that you would join me in praying that God would lead and that i would feel peace about the outcome either way, knowing that God's ways are higher than my ways, His plans better than my own.

First of all... Hey Patti!!! I haven't talked to you in far too long! secondly... I think you are an amazing writer. and I'm done with the whole listing thing... I'm excited for you and your summer of driving and kids chaos. I would love to be doing that again... but I will be driving around in a city truck and shovelling stuff all summer instead! later ms Patti
