So over the past few weeks there have been a lot of changes in my future. Along with all of these changes, there was joy, confusion, anger, frustration, peace, and lots and lots of tears and questions. I had a lot of options. Actually, to be completely honest, I think the problem was that I had too many options! These were all of the places that I was thinking of moving:
~staying in Phoenix, AZ
~moving to Flagstaff, AZ--find a job maybe?
~moving to Portland, OR-- not sure why...
~moving to Mexico City, MX-- stint with cru? teach english? study at unam?
~moving to Tijuana, MX-- orphanage?
~moving to San Diego, CA--live with family while volunteering in orphanages near Mexican border
~moving to Guadalajara, MX--
~moving to China
I mean really!?!?!?! That's just crazy and all of those were real options! Ok... well... maybe not China. But I was so desperate I figured why not drop everything and move to China?!?! haha But anyways during this whole time I needed the constant reminder that God was in control and that He is good.
GOD IS GOOD. PERIOD. That's all we need to know. Even when we have no idea where we are going or what we are doing with our future or even tomorrow, WE KNOW THAT GOD IS GOOD!
"Now listen, you who say, "Today or tomorrow we will go to this or that city, spend a year there, carry on business and make money." Why, you do not even know what will happen tomorrow. What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes. Instead, you ought to say, "If it is the Lord's will, we will live and do this or that."" James 4:13-15
The only thing that we can plan on is that God is good. No matter where He leads us, He is good. GOD IS GOOD. PERIOD.
