where did it go?

Yikes, and six months is now over.
In the time I didn't write, I was working at a greenhouse... it was good, but it had a lot of challenges. It's pathetic that I was over 20 before I had my first "real" job in a lot of ways and I ran into so many challenges just because I didn't know what I'm allowed to put my foot down on and stuff.
God continually challenged me to simply "listen and pray" - I got really frustrated at one point by how my one co-worker must have viewed Christians after she finished working with us... I wanted so much for her to know the love and acceptance and compassion of Christ in us... and I still pray that that is what she saw. Tough times.
Now though, I'm sitting at my computer with 20 minutes to go before we leave for Crowsnest Lake Bible Camp where I'll be working all summer. It's pretty insane really... how fast the days fly by... and then I'll be in the UK. Part of me is so excited for all the change and to be back doing what I have dreamed of and wanted to be involved in all my life - and yet, this past few months has been that as well...
I tell people over and over again that my 'calling' from God isn't vocational... but instead that it is to be a woman who seeks after His heart and is defined by the Word of God... That being Christ as well as the written word... and so to be at home and working and hopefully being an encouragement and a taste of Christ to the people around me IS my life goal.
But it will be good to be back in the type of 'work' that I THINK I want to do for the rest of my life. That is yet to be determined. I still remember my job at VTI with a lot of fondness... so who knows where I'll end up!
Please keep praying for me, and I'll try to keep this blog updated while I'm away!
shalom.
