Back yet again... I promise I'll get better at this!

I have this horrible tendency... I'll stop blogging, and during that time I of course continue to think... and feel- God continues to work in my life and on my heart... And so I'll have things I want to blog about, but then I realize that if I talk about that then I'll have to go back and talk about this other "Aha!" moment... and then that other one... and the other- by then the task seems to daunting and before you know it it's been a year since anyone has seen or heard from me (In the blog world that is) Thus, today is the day I've opted not to be defeated. No, I wont be going back and back dating everything I've wanted to say- I will however be moving forward from here and so, hello. I'm back :o)

Some of you are probably wondering where in the world I am... be prepared for shock- I am still in Knoxville Tennessee. Anyone who's known me any duration of time, particularly over the past few years, knows that my life has been a tad ridiculous... the fact that I'm still in one place within the US weirds me out a bit... I'm restless, but I know Gods in the process of growing something in me.

In recent news however, I haven't given up on leaving fairly soon... There are times my heart hurts to be overseas completely and totally submerged in ministry... It hurts in a way that's hard to explain. Those days are rough- its hard to explain to those who ask "How are you?" that I'm having a hard day because I dont get the sense that I'm in the right place, at the right time doing exactly what god has wired me to do... passionately pursuing my purpose in Him... a hurt as a result of that is a bit abstract and difficult to convey. I've begun the application process with world gospel mission- initially was hoping to go to Kenya, but its looking like Peru is a possibility- not on my radar but totally in God's hands. I may make plans but its exciting to see where God orders my steps...
