Prayers, please

I would appreciate prayers at this time in my life...a time of seeking the Lord's will, and what my next step should be...my life feels so full of big decisions right now as I feel completely different about my life than I did 6 months ago.
Thanks for the prayers.
Love you all!

Being Home...

Being home has been really great. But, now I feel like I should be going back, like this was a Christmas break. Honestly, I miss it terribly. I find myself thinking about Nicaragua constantly, thinking about the kids, what I would be doing at certain times, and wanting to go back. I look at pictures with some of my favorite kids for minutes at a time.

I'm going to answer the question that everybody has been asking: What's next?
Immediately, I'm taking 2 classes at Kuyper, and working full time doing respite care. After this semester, I have no idea. Well, I have ideas, but we'll see what God shows me. :)
I'm taking this semester, each day, as it comes. It's something that's hard to do, but is really good for me.
Right now, I can see myself living, and want to live on the mission field someday. Where? I don't know. When? No idea. I just know that if it's part of God's plan, it will all happen in His time.
While it's hard to let it all go and give it to God, it's been totally worth it so far. He hasn't disappointed me, and I don't anticipate disappointment.

God is revealing Himself and His heart more and more to me each day, and for now, I'm enjoying it, and it's more than enough. I'm falling more and more in love with Him each day. :)

Thanks for all your prayers and words of encouragement!!
Love,
Rachel
