While I'm Waiting...
It's 2:12 am and I am suddenly awake and frustrated again because my shoulder and neck hurt still in spite of taking muscle relaxers and pain relievers and my insurance rejected my appeal again and we still don't have any idea about Allen's job...I still haven't heard about nursing school and I realized that I haven't been doing my part in this. I haven't been praising God and waiting patiently for him to reveal himself to me in the midst of this stormy time. I know he has a plan in here somewhere I just don't know where. But he wouldn't just throw me into the deep end and not give me a life preserver. My life preserver is his word and his promises that he will never leave me or forsake me. I just need to remember that he is here and he has a plan. He may seem to be asleep in the stern of the boat while a storm rages on my seas, but he is still in control and he can still calm the storm with just a word.
I will serve you while I'm waiting, I will worship while I'm waiting....

yuck, mrs. i'll be praying with you!! can you fill me in? what's going on with Allen's job?
ReplyDeleteYes, he is coming to the end of his contract with Gonzaga and his job is grant funded. The benefactor needs to be contacted to see if he is going to re-fund the grant and all the folks at GU are dancing around the issue...nobody wants to talk to the big man with the money. So Allen just sat down and wrote him a "state of the job" address and sent it off via email with a sort of soft "ask" at the end ..."so I would like to talk to you about your continued support of our mission here"...that sort of thing. The big man with the money emailed back within the hour and was very positive and said he would be in town next month and would love to meet with Allen. No commitment but it is a start anyway.
ReplyDeleteAllen has been trying to get someone at GU to do this for almost FIVE MONTHS. It took one hour. It's frustrating. Meanwhile he is applying for a position similar to the one he was looking at in Walla Walla two years ago but it is in Tacoma. He would move there, I would stay here to finish school...not optimal but we will do what we have to do to get through this time. We are just trusting God that he has a plan here but the closer it gets to the end of his contract (July 31st) the antsy-ier we get. We will need to sell the house...make decisions...lots of things. I don't like not knowing what is going to happen in the very near future (you understand that, don't you?) :) And not knowing if I am accepted into nursing school for the fall semester is uuber frustrating too. So, I'm just trying to be patient and let God work it out. He always has before and I know he won't let me down this time.
Thanks for the prayers, I appreciate everyone of them!!
<3 you
Oh, my. Keep me updated. This is nuts.
ReplyDeleteMiss Lisa, about one hour after you posted this comment, I received my email informing me that I have been accepted to the nursing program!! And about 3 hours before your email, Allen received the good news that his benefactor was going to continue to fund his job!
ReplyDeleteGOD IS SO GOOD!!!!!
