Today my roomate told me I sleep too much and my showers are unbareably long. Why do you need to know this? Really you do not but it goes a long with my current life style. Over the last nine months I spent countless hours around my church as an Intern working, learning, seeking God, & growing. I did not call the church my second home but rather my first. I grew so comfortable and so happy there.
I graduated from my Internship at the beginning of the month. So what did I do with my new found freedom? Well...
1. Quit my current job for starters due to discomfort, unsettled nerves, lack of peace. I knew I was done. God and I have a habit of quiting jobs before I know the back up plan. This is not the first time infact I think I am getting used to this place. It is actually quite liberating. A quick way to learn trust.
2. I spent a wonderful year with a group of young ladies discipling and teaching them. I loved investing time in them and they all have sadly out grown me. They have moved on to the life of high schoolers now. So I am left without little Timothy's to teach.
3. I went to camp which occupied some time. Oh yes and there was preparation which filled up a great amount of time. So that was almost two weeks of work.
4. Went to my parents house - several times. Emmett is great and all but there is only so much a person with out a car can do there. Like sit at the house. Yep.
5. I feel I should mention a good chunk of this month was spent suffering from withdrawals from not being around church enough. So I walked to church quite often to find comfort and to ease my excited nerves.
Now you can see how I have grown accustom to long showers and very late mornings. I really am not as pitiful as I have made myself out to be but I do not know what I am doing or where I am going.
So what do you do when you don't know what to do? Wait, yes I guess that is the answer. Wait on God. Rely on Him. Start a blog?! Listen to crazy music?! (Like I am doing now.) Talk to family. Learn something new. Give God a chance to talk!

That's actually a good place to be in! Honestly, being in a place where you are waiting for God to do something and being totally dependent on Him scares me to death! That's awesome you're in this place.
Waiting on God can be tetious and annoying...but good. Really good. He takes awhile to talk sometimes but He even teaches you things in the waiting time.
You do know this...you're going to interns next year. That's a big something.
If God gives you the go ahead you can look for jobs or start contimplating ones you would like to have.
You can volenteer
You can read (I have been doing this a lot lately)
You can rent a bunch of movies from the Library and watch them.
Go on bike rides
Go on walks
Find middle school girls to loop into your small group.
OR you could always give me a call when you want to do something!
Those are little answers to a big question.
and YAY you found my blog!
