So what's happened in the last couple of weeks? Not much, really. The big news is that I DO have a meeting set up with a church in January, which is great...but so far, that's it. I know my timing is horrible, with the economy and the holidays quickly approaching. As my mother just said, it's not promising. I'm not sure what's next, what I should DO next, or if I even have time to do it! So at least right now I feel like I'm just sitting and waiting and trying to decide...what's next. God's waiting room, so to speak. Can you tell I was just reading about Joseph? :)

I've also decided not to take another quarter of Romanian. This quarter has been good and helpful, but I at least have a start now, I have all the books, and I can keep working on it myself. Ah, the benefits of having been homeschooled...knowing how to discipline yourself to learn! :-) Plus, it will save me some money, which is always nice, AND give me more free time...in theory! So I have another month or so, and then I'll be done with my "formal" Romanian training until I'm actually in Bucharest!

In all the craziness of the last 10ish days (my Grandma is in the hospital, my cell phone is dead, my car is dying, and the election results were, in many areas, not what I would have chosen), I've been reminded that the same God that I trust to be in control of MY life is all in control of all of history and of the lives of the people I love.
