Yesterday was a good day!

I've been in contact with a Bible College here in the UK, Mattersey Hall, since March.  For months and months now I've been trusting their word for future employment. At times, if I'm honest, I've gotten impatient and frustrated with their slow response and lack of detail as to how it will all work out and exactly what they wanted me to do. Finally, on Tuesday morning I got in touch with the Academic Dean of Students and a meeting was arranged. Wednesday morning, Simon and I drove down across the country .

The trip started out hopeful, I was a bit nervous, I guess interviews always tend to have that affect on you! 

We encountered a bit of traffic, avoided the full force of it, and fortunately found the College just fine and made it on time!

My meeting lasted a good 3 hours. I shared a meal of fish cake and chips (french fries), spoke with the new Director of Distance Learning and the College President himself.

I came out satisfied and hopeful of the future! The wage is not ideal (it is a small Bible College with limited resources), but it definitely is a start! The best bit is that it doesn't interfere at all with the time I have to finish my dissertation and MA course! 

Unfortunately, the trip back wasn't as good. We hit tremendously horrible traffic. It took us 2 hours to move 2 miles! But arriving home, showering up, and cuddling in bed with the West Wing left us feeling relaxed and happy.

Indeed, God holds all things in his hands :) I am so thankful to see a bit more of what the near future holds. Thank you Lord :)

Don't you just hate the waiting?

I hate the waiting. 
Waiting to hear back about that one application...
Waiting to hear backing concerning that job opportunity...
Waiting to hear back so we can finally plan the next phase in life.

*sigh*

Waiting, waiting, waiting...

...I just hate it.

Yeah... we're just in that waiting stage right now.
