Tonight, I lay awake in Pinedale, Wyoming and about a million things are running through my mind. Starting with how will ends meet, what classes am I going to take, I need to go running, should I call or email them, I hope they don't call me, where will I be a year from now, where will I been five years from now, will I be single the rest of my life, am I going to be a teacher in an orphanage like I dream? Wow! If you know any of the above answers, please give me a call.
Deanna and I went to a concert at her church, which was pretty good. I find myself with a critical spirit toward some things more then I would ever hope for. At the concert I got to meet some of Deanna's friends and friends of Greg. (That's a whole other long story!) Anyway, at the concert, about six songs in, the lead singer said something like, "I don't want to make this uncomfortable, but I want to you to take a step out in your faith and step forward to the stage. By taking a step up, you are saying here I am God!" Is that stepping out on faith? When someone says to or people around you are moving? This in not the way that Kaitlyn Manzer functions and I actually went out for a little while. One to blow my constantly dripping nose and two to cry over what a critical spirit I have acquired. How has it come to this? I honestly can say that I had a more critical spirit in earlier years, but it is starting to sneak back up on me and I don't like it one bit. I want to rid myself of it, but that is nothing I can do. God needs to strip me of that. Something to think about: what do YOU need to let GOD strip from you?
All things considered I want to leave you with happier trip highlights:
* After countless, stressful hours of traveling I am here...holding my nephew!
* It has been really relaxing thus far.
* God is opening my eyes to things that have been masked with business.
* I have listened to a ton of Spanish music.
* I am venturing and listening...
