Good news! My outreach is fully funded! All the money that is owed YWAM is paid for in full. I can't believe how faithful the Lord has been. I'm so thankful for His faithfulness. A big shout-out to my momma who has been a driving force behind everything! I still would like to raise the money to cover my plane ticket and visa if possible. We'll see what the Lord has in store.
I've been back in Phoenix for almost two months now, and it seems like the time has flown by. All my days are running together, even though we haven't been super busy. It's been rain.... rain.... and more rain here in Arizona.
Despite the rain, dispatch is still running in the swing of things. I've been switching off between day shift/ night shift/ and graveyard. It's nice to have the down time on night shift to get things accomplished that just don't happen during the day! My body's a little confused though some days. :)
The past 5 months have been go go go for me. I've been working over full time hours, with days off few and far between. My relationship with the Lord has been put on the backburner. I'm excited that my hours are being cut back and that I'll hopefully be returning to the land of normal(ish) [this is fire we're talking about.. nothing normal about it!] work weeks. A friend of mine has somehow convinced me to get up to watch the sunrise every day. For no other fact than it's beautiful. I was skeptical at first, and laughed him off (precious sleep time shall not be wasted!). And then one morning I got up early just to say I had... And it brought back everything I've been missing. I just sat there with my cup of coffee and watched the sunrise. Nothing else. It was peaceful beyond anything I had experienced in months.
That morning snapped me back with a reality check. We all need those sometimes. My filter left the building long ago, and my tendency to just spurt whatever comes to mind is not generally pretty. I don't know where my grace for others has gone, but I've lost it somewhere between the ESR and Aircraft desk. Please return it if you find it..... but seriously. I'm working on it. The old fashioned way of coming back to God and asking for grace for myself. In addition to some post-it notes on my computer and desk reminding me to hush and think.
For those wondering about how I'm doing with everything that happened June 30th... well, I know that prayer matters and that it helps in ways you nor I will ever see. I appreciate all the prayers, and so do the rest of us involved.
I'll end on a happier note. I have a new job title: Acting Assistant Center Manager - Logistics. To God be all the glory here. It's an appointment for now. Once I get back from Australia, if I still want it I'll apply for the job and go through the whole process. Pray for me as I work through lies the enemy is trying to make real, most having to do with my age.
Until we meet again,
Katie
