As some of you may have noticed, I'm not in Russia yet. That is one of many things that keeps changing. I am leaving... I promise! The current departure date is set for either February fifth or sixth. I found out today that the Visas changed again, meaning that I'll be coming home at the end of May. All that contemplating and debating over decisions I did! Just when I make my decision, ta-da! The Visas change again. Oh well, that's how the cookie crumbles!
In my last post, I announced that I was attempting to take classes in the Spring term since I would be home. Within the hour of finding out that I wouldn't be able to take classes (due to attendance issues), ILP called to tell me about the Visa change. If nothing else, I have learned out of these experiences to trust in the Lord completely. He really knows what He is doing in helping direct my life! The scripture that comes to mind is Proverbs 3:5, which reads: Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thy own understanding.
I certainly don't understand a lot of the changes that have happened over the course of this week and month, but the one thing I know for certain is that Heavenly Father will not leave me alone to figure and plan my life. I know this because I've spent the last month convulsively planning the Summer 2008 clear into Summer 2009! Planning and thinking are both curses and blessings in my life! I'm pretty sure I've reached a point where I cannot possibly plan anything else sensibly or without having to change it all time and time again!
Oh, the joys of life!
