The Final Countdown

There is a song called "The Final Countdown" that plays just before basketball games or other sporting events. It implies that something big is about to be decided. Lately I feel like that song has been playing on repeat in my mind. Tonya and I have a big decision to make in February and it feels like we have so many options to entertain that we just don't know what to do.

When we decided to sell our house, store our belongings, give away our car and move overseas, we knew we would be doing that for at least two years. That number always seemed like so much time and such a far off place from where we were when we committed that we would certainly know what to do next when the time came to make a decision. Well, the time has come and here we sit, nearly clueless as to what we need to do next. We have a general idea of what we want, but we want what we want to be what God wants us to want. Makes sense, right?

We went to church today, hoping for answers or insights, and the pastor preached a sermon about waiting on The Lord. That is pretty funny because typically the last thing I ever want to do is wait on The Lord for anything. But that seems like what we need to do right now.

Will you help us wait on The Lord? Will you pray for us to have wisdom as to what our next step is? We would greatly appreciate it.

I bet that song is in your head now.
