the clock is ticking

Four days, including today (as the mail hasn't come yet), and I should find out whether I have been accepted to Moody Bible Institute. Why four days, well I have heard from a friend who applied that the fourteenth of this month is the day those who made the early deadline find out whether they have been accepted or not. I can't help but think about it all the time. I check the mail daily with the enthusiasm of a little boy expecting a decoder ring. Last time I applied to school I only applied to one, but could have cared less the outcome, now, my expectations keep me on my toes and sometimes they hurt. For a little over two years now I have struggled with making a step towards a goal other than being out of debt. I have worked a couple jobs and have been consistent in paying off my debt, and sure I have been lackadaisically enrolling in a class or two at community college for the last couple years, but the big question has been, what do I do? I have been thinking of pursuing a degree in History, only to go on and get a Masters so I could teach, but as far as passion goes, I want to fly. I want to be overseas, in a part of the world far from the normal reaches of your typical traveler. I want to reach the unreachable for Christ and share with them the great news of salvation. Thy will be done... That is where I must be and where I must find peace. Saturday is the day, and Friday I leave for Mexico for the weekend. I won't get back until Monday, therefore the fourteenth has turned into the sixteenth, but, Thy will be done...
