Over the past year I've always been trying to do things that I wanted and not just stop and give everything up to God because that was what is best for me. For instance I tried going to the Cleveland area, contacting churches that I thought would be cool (like in Ohio, Washington, Indiana, etc. Though throughout everything nothing seemed to turn out just right. It even got to the point where my loans increased because of a gratuated payment. So it was like playing Russian hour roulette. Anyways as time has gone on and things change I've really started praying more towards asking God to help me move on with things. Once I finally decided to not search for Ukrainian/Russian stuff wierd things started happening and all I did was pray. Not only have I had a lady come and ask me at least once a week when I'm going to Russia. I have also had multiple Russian Christians popping up that I never even knew existed in Iowa. You see despite everything going on in my life it is always best to delight in the Lord and not try to make your own plans. God always knows what's best for you. As day by day passes it's one step closer to Russia/Ukraine. I TRULY miss my old job of working with troubled youth because of my background in counseling troubled youth and o so much more. In the long run I look forward more and more to the exciting, but yet rewarding opportunity of being able to make a difference in a kids life again like what I was able to do when I worked at a mission for foster kids and kids without parents. That's the type of job I would love to work in again. There is nothing like changing a kids life from what may seem as hopeless to showing them the true hope and found in Christ and Christ alone (Romans 5).
