Will You Pray?! (Part 2)

So...
Caroline did give me some good advice, as I drew her in to give me a tight squeeze. (hahahaha)

She told me I should go. She said she's all right with it. She said that it could grow me and challenge me.

True and valid.

That is the biggest and truest of the points.

This would probably be the most stretching of stretches so far in my life's history.

Maybe that's why it scares me.
(Yes, I am TERRIFIED!)

I would have to depend and trust on the Lord on EVERY level.

Currently, I would say I am living semi-dependent to fairly independent.

I don't generally pray that the Lord would give me wisdom concerning how to make a double tall cappucino.
(I DO pray, however; that He would guide my words and actions with my co-workers and customers.)

But, I would be re-entering the "teacher realm." I must pray MOMENTLY for Him to guide me with wisdom and joy and discernment when I am a teacher. The field of teaching stretches me far beyond what I am capable of doing on my own.

(If I were applying to teach at a school in Ohio I would probably go through these same troubling thoughts. I did when I applied at Grace Academy...and especially when Mr. Lugg called and told me that I got the job. I was SCARED.)

IF they offer me a position, can I take it because I want to be stretched? Do you just pursue things in order for you to be stretched? Do you sign 2 year contracts in foreign fields in order to be stretched and challenged?

Both choices have their sad parts that bring losses and both choices have their good parts that bring gains.

Am I being "called" to China? I have NO idea.
Am I being "called" to Cincinnati, Ohio? At this moment, yes. For an extended period going into this next year? I have NO idea.

Stink, stink, stink.
