The past few days have been especially hard. My mood is off, and the slightest thing upsets my whole day. I'm struggling with trusting the Lord, in a few areas. It's just hard. It irritates me when I start to think how much longer I have to teach in Argentina. I LOVE my job, my kids, and my friends... but I LOVE my life here too. I love my family, my church, singing in the praise band, and just doing things I've become so accustomed to. Staying in the States this long may have been a mistake... because it no longer feels like a "vacation"; I feel like I've re-adjusted to my life here. And now I'm going to have to go back and adjust to life in BsAs again. Ugh! Hopefully it will be easier.
I've decided that I don't like time, distance, or waiting for things. The Lord is for SURE stretching me in these areas. It's hard for me to be away from people I care about. It's hard for me to not be able to text or call them when I want to. It's hard to not be able to involve those I love in the small things of life. Because, you know, the small things ARE life. I'm just over it I guess. I'm ready for everyone I love to be in the same place... and I'm starting to think that maybe this is just the beginning of these kinds of experiences. Therefore, I need to cling to the Lord, and realize that my mission on earth is NOT to live comfortably with my friends and family in a bubble. My goal in life is to follow where the Lord's leading me. And right now, I'm a 3rd grade teacher at BAICA.
I still don't like waiting for things. :)
