OM contacted me yesterday. They wanted to know more about my past and about my break-up with my fiance last summer. I emailed them back and answered all their questions. They also want me to talk to their medical advisor at the conference at Easter so they can't give me a decision until after then. I was temporarily gutted yesterday when I found out it was another 6 weeks to wait but I've had some good 'God time' since then and decided actually it's a really positive thing. In my own plans I'd have got my answer yesterday. If yes, then it would have freed me to be my usual "Miss Organised" and get going on fundraising and speaking to my home church (when I'm home at Easter) about what I'm doing and sorting through my stuff to get rid of what I don't need... If no, I could have started thinking about what I'd do instead (job) and where I'd live etc. In God's plans however, I have to trust him until the very last minute, which is actually really great! I'd been praying that God would teach me to trust him more through OM so I guess this is an answer to prayer in that respect! I like it when things fit neatly into what I want to do and everything goes to plan and I've not got deadlines looming that could go unfulfilled... I need to learn to let those deadlines loom sometimes and to give everything over to God and just walk in what I believe He's told me to do. I believe that He wants me to go on the ships. Whether the timing is right or not, that I don't know. But He's asked me to walk with this. So I have to be faithful to that and leave my future in His hands, which is the very best place for it to be! :-)
