Busy, busy, and more busy

We had our first administrators meeting of the year Friday; and the last in my current residence! What a contrast! This was a difficult meeting for me. We debated the location of the office and if the college should be handed over to a specific church or union. Of course this was not received well. However, our human nature does not like change and we want to hang out in our own little groups. Am I right? For myself, I dislike change.

We covered the new or updated materials. Luda worked tirelessly on translating the new charts and graphs this last year. I am excited this project is completed. We discussed the new prices and procedures. The new degrees were introduced and the administrators were impressed. One of our administrators worked with an attorney updating the degrees.

Graduation this year will be slightly different. I am unable to attend several services because of the immediate need to find an apartment, pack, and move by the 20th of September. Yes, this came as a surprise, at least so quickly; but as always, I know the Lord will provide.

The last several weeks I planned to go out of town for fasting and praying regarding the ministry for the coming year(s). I spent the last of my money on food for the administrators meeting and the next day was my scheduled date for traveling. I had set aside $50.00 and a friend needed the money for their rent. Even though I did not have money I continued to believe I would be going. I reminded God this was His plan and would have to provide the funds. It always amazes me how God works!

Please pray for me. I need God’s wisdom and patience. I am not sure where to move the office and how to handle the college from this point on. Throughout this situation my emotions run from one extreme to another. One day I want to throw my hands up and say ‘I quit.’ The next moment, I am resolved to stay and stamp on the enemies head! I want to walk in God’s perfect will for my life and the ministry and I covet your prayers.

May God bless each of you and may His face shine upon you.
