I just realized that my dear Anne Marie has been waiting to hear whether or not I got accepted to NET Ministries!
I did not. I received a letter two weeks ago saying that while I was not accepted for this coming NET year, they are going to contact me this October and ask me to strongly consider reapplying. The same thing happened to my older sister when she applied, and she was accepted the second time around and served for two years.
Will I reapply?
I have no idea. I really don't. I want to, but at the same time, I feel like maybe I'm just not cut out for it. The demanding lifestyle of a missionary sounds really awesome to me, but also really scary and difficult. I only applied this year because I knew God was asking me to. Now?
Well, now I am waiting. Waiting is super hard. It's boring. And it's also kind of scary. Because I have no idea what God wants of me anymore. Fortunately, God has given me peace about waiting, but stilll...it's WAITING. I have no idea what this year holds for me. All I know is that just hours before I read that letter, telling me I would not be serving on NET this coming school year, God promised me an adventure.
And He's promised that it will be amazing.
So. That's what I've been up to. Sorry for totally leaving you hanging, Anne Marie!
Haha, no problem, Clare! I have been praying for you and will absoloutly continue to ask ask God to make His will clear to you. I'm in a sort of waiting period too right now-- so we're kinda in the same boat=)
