Well, never mind about that Australia thing. Turns out, we are not moving to the other side of the world after all. Not yet anyway. The project has been delayed 1-2 years. So potentially, we could be moving down under in another year or two, but so much could happen between now and then, I'm not going to get my hopes up. Actually, it will be really difficult for me to get my hopes up about any future opportunity after the hit my heart took this time.
So, now what? I've been in a difficult place this last month, trying to figure out the purpose in all this. I know that God always has a plan and a purpose, but He doesn't always share it with us. I've quit my job (which I wanted to do anyway) and de-committed from all my volunteer roles, so now I have a fairly clear schedule (as clear as it can be with two busy girls and lots of great friends) and I'm wondering if God has a big thing that He wants me to do. I hope that He does, because honestly, I was all set and ready for a big change, and now I'm not really content just going back to the same stuff I was doing before. It was good, don't get me wrong. But I was looking forward to something different, and now I need something different. Does that make sense?
Hopefully I'll have some ideas and answers in the next couple of months. My mind is open and searching for what God has planned for me and my family, but my heart is still a little guarded. To be continued...
