• Ok, guess it's time for something more than just a vague one-liner.  Things are still hopping around here as the last days and weeks of training are rapidly ticking. Departure date is scheduled for August 31, and it's off to West Virginia I go! I am excited about hitting the road and actually putting into practice all the stuff I've been learning and studying, but the thought of saying goodbye to everyone that I have come to love and be so close with is not something that I'm looking forward to.

  
  

  The Lord has shown me a lot this past week, through my own failures and mistakes. Sunday the Lord did an amazing work in my heart, and a lot of the walls of stubbornness and pride crumbed, and the Lord was free to do some housecleaning in my life. Praise the Lord! I am learning to let go, and trust. A phrase the Lord keeps pounding through my head is that "The Lord doesn't need my help...but He does want my trust." That's been a big issue for me lately.

  
  

  What else? Training has switched from a class room setting to mainly just paring off with my partner and working on lessons. I am continually amazed at how the Lord knew what was good for me. I am finding a kindred spirit and like-minded teacher in my partner, Jessie. And the adjustment to being a Silver team member is going well. The Lord is faithful.

  
  

  Anyway, there ya have it. Comments? Questions? Complaints? Leave 'em here.
