Life in Thailand was filled with such obvious purpose. Each day my students and I started with our Bible verse of the week and God’s love for them poured through me. My heart aches thinking about the distance between these precious souls and myself. I am thankful for my time in Thailand, but the Lord made it obvious it was time for us to return to America.
The Lord put a desire in my heart to move to New York when I was in middle school. Over the 10+ years, this desire remains. After much prayer, the Lord opened clear doors for us to move here. And who would have guessed my southern husband would have such a heart for the city?
I signed a contract with my company while on a trip visiting my parents, Caleb was able to continue working for my mom while he prayed for the Lord to open the correct doors for him, and we found our apartment in one day {which in New York, is very rare}. After a few weeks of attending the men’s Bible study at our church, a leader connected my husband with Deloitte.
Now that we have found a bit more of a routine, my heart and schedule is ready to be apart more. We are ready to find our purpose in the city. We are praying for the Lord to reveal our purpose- our good work.
We each have special gifts, unique to our personalities- not one gift is better than another. It has been such a joy to pray through this desire while going through Lara Casey’s new book and her powersheets. We cannot wait to see what the Lord has in store and to see what the future will hold.
What are some of your dreams or goals?
Love this. I will be praying for you! I’m currently dreaming of becoming a mom and writing a book!
