keylljyn-clos: woods of rest

I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately..I did not wish to live what was not life..nor did I wish to practice resignation, unless it was quite necessary. I wanted to live deep and suck out all the marrow of life..reduce it to its lowest terms, and, if it proved to be mean..to get the whole and genuine meanness of it, and publish its meanness to the world, or if it were sublime, to..be able to give a true account of it in my next excursion.~Thoreau

It all comes down to Sunday. Whether I'm going to England or staying home will be decided then. Because that's when I find out if the church will support me financially or not. If people don't respond to what Matt and I say on Sunday or to Jim's prayers for us, I will not be going to England. And I will be okay with it. I actually will have a peace about it, because I know that God will do what is best for my heart, and it may be that staying home is what my heart mosts needs at this time. However, the church body could respond enormously and generously to our need and I could have all the money come in before church is over. And I will be okay with it, and have a peace about going to England, because that will be what God thinks is Best for my heart. I'm actually more nervous about getting the money rather than not. I've been given permission almost by my friends to stay if I need to. And for the past few weeks, I've honestly not wanted to go to England because of what I'm leaving behind. But somehow, staying home feels a little like just settling for the Good instead of gaining the Best. It's not about England, it's about what is Best for my heart. I am hungry to know God more. I am hungry to know myself more. And I feel like Transit might be where this could all happen and more. England is just the setting. I've actually never really been excited about England, just Transit, or this transition period in my life. So I will hope that the Best will happen, and I will trust that God will make it happen, because He who promised is faithful.
