I had thought I would be going to Salem, OR and going through FCM (foundations in counseling ministry) I had some input from my Fiji friends and thought that was it.
Dates and internet all confused and so it just was not the way the Lord works no chaos!
My sister chick Becky and I had been thinking of doing something together and heard of TESOL.
I checked into it and then forgot until I received a call from Courtney. We prayed together and then everything just fell into place.
TESOL is just a month long intense course and happened to fall right after my commitment to my daughter Terah.
My daughter Terah and her husband Aaron are youth leaders at their church in Estes Park. They have been planning a Missions Trip with their youth to an Apache Reservation in Arizona and had asked me to watch my 3 grand kids.
My daughter, Tenaya graduated on May 4th and I worked my last week of OE (outdoor education) at Calvin Crest the 19th - 24th.
I sometimes felt like this was crazy giving up a perfectly good job, but definitely knew the Lord was telling me to go, so in obedience I am going.
Many sad SEE YOU LATERS since I don't like goodbyes.
My last life group which was very hard.
I have come to love these people so much and enjoy our times together just sharing life!
With all of this my car decided to break down right before my trip to Colorado.
I feel like forces were working against us and did not want the kids to go on this trip or me not at TESOL.
We fought back and the Lord prevailed!
I trusted that the Lord was in control and through it all there was a peace.
I had no extra money to fix my car. At Christmas before going to Colorado my water pump went out in Azusa. I had it fixed at a franchise and off we went. I guess they did not quite tighten things because I was still losing water slowly.
So this week I called them and we had it towed to Fresno and they fixed it all under warranty!
Praise God
So early in the morning (4 am to be exact) off to Colorado I went with my car loaded.
Here I am enjoying my grand kids.
My daughters youth group had a phenomenal trip where they finished construction on1 home and began work on another.
I have a couple more weeks to visit and play before driving to Montana for TESOL.
Please keep me in your prayers.
I am not working and have no income for the next few months. I have paid for my TESOL course and saved the money for travel. However I did not quite reach my goal of being debt free before leaving and do have a couple bills to pay on. I am close. So finances, traveling mercies and my car to run well and the ability to absorb all that is taught and then be able to do the same as a teacher.
Thank you to all for support, friendship and prayers.
May our Lord bless and keep you,
may He shine His face upon you
Shalom
