From every angle

This journey has been long and drawn out. When I started in September, it began moving very quickly. Almost too quickly. I lowed down to enjoy the holidays, and then come mid-late January, it was back in full swing. By April 1st, my study was submitted to the state. But here we are mid-June and I am still waiting.

There have been some delays. There are things my licensor is facing that he says are the first for the agency. I am happy that it is a learning experience all around, yet the delays have brought out some emotions that I never saw coming.

I had to have my Environmental Health Study redone. It took some time to get that scheduled. Then I needed the septic pumped. There was another 10 days. I finally got the report in the mail today, and I hope my agency got it too and that my application can be resubmitted with all necessary documents. It is possible that I'll have my license as early as the week's end. I want to have that hope, but I also have a hard time holding onto too much hope. I believe that good things are in store. I know that Abba Father has called me to this. I know that everything is working out for his good.

These times of delay just make it so much more rewarding when the answer to prayer comes. There is something to be learned through all of this. Either I can do things that I wouldn't be able to do had I gotten my license prior. Maybe the littles I am going to get are going to be lined up so beautifully with my license. Perhaps if I already had my license, I would have received a placement, but the ones that God is preparing my heart for are on their way and this delay just lines everything up with God's most perfect timing?

What lies ahead? I honestly don't know. Will I get my license? Yes. When? I wish I knew. God knows. And I will walk in His most perfect plan for me.

Amen.
