Chapter Books

The rainy season is officially upon us here in the Redwood forest. It seems like each time we step outside the rain begins. Today however it wasn't rainy, it was a brisk blue sky day. As I sat in the parking lot yesterday waiting for school buses to arrive to pick up our students who explored the forest this week, I sat there and began reading psalms. 

"Let all that I am praise the Lord;

With my whole heart I will praise his holy name".-Psalm 103 NLT

Today marks the beginning of my 10 day count down until I depart towards Laramie, WY. Laradise.

My Father God has not been dawdling in teaching. His main subject this month is Patience. I have a tutor, His name is the Holy Spirit. 

While it has settled into me more and more that I will soon be departing and transitioning physically from this season in California I am really excited to be heading home to Pennsylvania for a couple of weeks to be home. The last time I was home in NEPA, I was stuck in a vortex waiting and wanting to get back to this coast. Now so many parts of my heart are looking forward to the rest and the joyful reunions of seeing faces and hearing words describe what God's been up. 

10 days and yet though there is no car in my clear sight that has been brought out of the wood work yet, I know my God is faithful and there will be an incredible story behind His timing and the falling into place of His desires for this journey, not mine. Just because I'm not given a car in my time preference doesn't mean it's not going to happen. I thought of this scenario as a failing in my eyes. Judgement of many but the truth is that God. Is. Faithful. His timing, not mine. 

I'll be departing Northern California to head North East in a car that I don't know yet. A car that God has chosen for me? Or a rental car? Either way God has been providing big things. Big things in the entire reason why I'm heading to Wyoming to begin with. To serve alongside many in the building and cultivating through SROM. I am extremely excited to announce that I am almost to my BEGINNING goal of $1,200 monthly supported! Nearly $60 monthly away currently! The Holy Spirit has been doing amazing things through perspective and teaching and discernment. The ideas and hopes that I put forward are often very different and there are times that I think that I'm beginning to catch on to fully giving it to God and then something happens that triggers my fingers to tighten back around these things surrendered.

 I entered into California, willingly to follow whatever path God had for me here and still does. And through it I am blessed beyond understanding and ability to describe. I'm honest when I say I am so glad that I said yes to Him. I am so thankful that I didn't try to LEAD upon MY own understanding but instead submitted to His will for my life for the amount of time that I have been out here. If I had peaced out when I thought I had wanted, there's no doubt that I wouldn't be headed where I'm prayerfully headed on December 16th. And for every single moment of suffering, sacrifice and dim light, I am grateful and praising the Holy Spirit for helping me to cling and rejoice in every single moment that is Northern California and those who surround it.

My bet is that All of this reality will set in somewhere in Nevada. Anyone have any other bets as to when this transition will feel real? As I speak there are boxes in my room and bits and peices of my life scattered all around this forest. I am excited to leave the things that Jesus wants me to leave here and take the lessons learned with me to be a vessel and a servant. I know I will miss it here. I am reminded of my steps upon the water when I first left PA to journey across to this majestic span of creation. I had no idea what was waiting for me at my destination but I felt joyful for the journey ahead and the peace of knowing Gods faithfulness.

"1 Give thanks to the Lord and 

proclaim his greatness.

 Let the whole world know what he has 

done.

2 Sing to Him; yes, sing his praises. 

Tell everyone about his wonderful deeds.

3 Exult in his holy name; 

rejoice, you who worship the Lord.

4 Search for the Lord and his strength;

 continually seek him. 

5 Remember the wonders he has performed, 

his miracles, and the rulings he has given, 

6 you children of his servant Abraham, 

you descendants of Jacob, his chosen

ones." Psalm 105:1-6  NLT

He is so faithful. To bend, break, mend and cultivate my time here along with others coinciding to make more progress on the tapestries of our souls.
