T-minus two months...

Summer is here! And with the school year officially over (and my first full year of teaching in the books!), my mental buffer for putting off thinking about moving to a different country is quickly disappearing. The summer is seeming shorter than ever with the August 14 fly out date looming over my head.

I am definitely more of a jump in the freezing cold pool instead of slowly wading in type of person. I hate transition times. They just take too long. I would rather just rip off the bandaid than sit and wait.

So here I am. Sitting in a coffee shop and waiting. Preparations are being made, but to be honest, there's not a lot to do... which is almost worse than being overwhelmed with a long list. It's a shock to the system after a long school year of very little down time. The past few days, I've finally had the chance to sit and rest with nothing on my 'to do' list. And I've been reminded of a word that God put on my heart last year:

Invitation

An invitation to sit and rest with Him. To just be. To learn. To receive. To allow the Holy Spirit to work in my heart as He wills and to bring peace to my anxious heart.

"But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, He will teach you all things and bring to your remembrance all that I have said to you. Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid." (John 14:26b-27)

To just sit and be has never been one of my strong suits... But, I guess I have two months of practice ahead.

Thank you in advance for your prayers as I move forward into this season of transition. Please pray for an openness to receive what He has.

¡Bendiciones! Katie
