Starting a new path? Maybe?

So lately for the past few weeks or so, maybe a little longer - not sure but this has been on my mind, - about volunteering for a possible internship at either Casa Bernabe Orphanage in Guatemala City, Guatemala, C.A. or at Back2Back Ministries in Monterey Mexico. I would absolutely LOVE to be able to teach an art program with the children!! And I get giddy when I think about the possibilities of doing just that!! Its a little Weird to have this prompting.... Never had one like it before? And for it being so specific, as it is? I know where to start... Obviously before The Lord and seeking His guidance through the next few steps. I sent an email to my friend Hope Maglich in seeking information, guidance and to share the excitement in this prompting. She sent one back to me informing me that first things first, I would need to come down there on a short term missionary trip with a team so that they could meet me first. And she gave me a contact email to get some more information. 

When everything is said and done, and I am approved for a month to two month internship I could be very well teaching general education and art education!!! I'm excited, yet feeling very daunted at the series of tasks in front of me. This is more than "going through the motions" to get something done. It's bathing it in prayer, seeking spiritual guidance, listening to the Lord speak to me, and much much much more!!! Please join me in prayer to allow God's plans for my life unfold before me!!!!

Comfort me?

If I could speak all the languages of earth and of angels, but don't love others, I would only be a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. If I had the gift of prophecy, and if I understood all of God's secret plans and possessed all knowledge, and if I had such faith that I could move mountains, but don't love others, I would be nothing. If I gave everything I have to the poor and even sacrificed my body, I could boast about it, but I I didn't love others, I would have gained nothing.
Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud or rude. It does not demand its own way. It is not irritable, and it keeps no record of being wronged. It does not rejoice about injustice but rejoices whenever truth wins. Love never gives up, never looses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance. 1 Corinthians 13:1-7

Be still and know that I am God. Psalms 46:10

I knew something was up, because when I awoke this morning my heart was extremely heavy (not as heavy as it is at this moment though). I knew.... just knew something was up. I just didn't know "what" specifically. As I was speaking to one of the Associate Pastors at my church this morning about how this past week has been (it was a nightmare... I'll spare details) and how I've felt forgotten. I told him that the scriptures above were like repeating themselves over and over and over in my mind and in my heart (I think my heart knew what was up?). So I've decided that they will be my next piece in my "Written Promises Series" of Illustrations. 

These two scriptures have been giving me comfort, with the exception of tears falling every now and then when my thoughts and the feeling of loss get the better of me.

From this time of quieting my heart again, and putting more focus on my Lord and spending more time with Him. I'm not settling for anything less than His plans. As Jeff spoke to me today, he told me that he sees the Lord getting ready to do something really soon in my life that will be a huge movement for me. Now I don't know what this will be? But I'm curious, and trusting in His Will that it will come to pass. 

The Dream Man of Mine is a post that I made when I was working at Chick-fil-a, when a coworker of mine said that she wrote her list, which inspired me to write mine. Call it my petition.... here it is again.
