Our Daily Bread for Tuesday, May 8, 2007, Titled 'THE ADVENTURE', got me really thinking about the next adventure in my life. WE ALL KNOW that every single day and part of my life has been and is an adventure in itself.
ODB used Esther 4:13-17, emphasizing verse 14. "Who knows whether you have come to the kingdom for such a time as this?"
Then stated, "Adventures can be fun- and scary. They usually involve a bit of the unknown. As we walk in fellowship with GOD, it's likely that our lives will have many unique adventures-opportunities to serve HIM. If we're reluctant or scared and we turn down an opportunity, we miss out. Will God still get the job done? Of course. But someone else will receive the blessing....Esther was naturally frightened to take this assignment. But GOD used her courage and faith to deliver her people. Trust GOD to show you the way. Adventure ahead!"- Cindy Hess Kasper
This came in GOD's perfect timing for me. I have no idea what my tomorrow holds, other than I am moving back to Denver and where I will be living. And waiting for all of GOD's words in Bali to play out in HIS Plan. I think of Jeremiah 29:11 (even 12-13) at this moment.
Anyway, I came back from Bangkok and really felt an urge to send my resume to other Christian schools in the Denver area. So Sunday night I sent 26 emails out. I was still hoping for a job at my school from last year....but on Monday I received an email letting me know that they would be closing. God prompted my heart and I listened.
So at this moment, I have no idea what is in store for me when I get HOME. However, I am trusting God to show me the way. I am just ready for more moments to meet the Risen Christ in.
As I wrote the other day, 2 Corinthians 1:9b "But this happened that we might not rely on ourselves but on GOD."
Praise Jesus!! and Adventure ahead!

Kimie, I just wanted to let you know that you have been on my heart and on my mind so very much lately. The leap of faith you took in going to Korea was very brave. And you have siezed every opportunity God has put before you and you have endeavored to deeply impact those around you for the glory of our Lord. I know that spending time teaching outside of the States was a dream you have had; but I also know that doing it alone was not. I am very proud of you for taking the first fearful steps holding God's hand and to look at where you are now--clinging to Him for everything. I hope that does not come across poorly. I know that you have always been passionate about your relationship with Christ, but in your writings it just seems that it is more now.
In church on Sunday we read Psalm 56 and verse 8 really struck me and I knew I wanted to share it with you. It says, "You number my wanderings; Put my tears into Your bottle; Are they not in Your book?" I am amazed that the God of the Universe loves us so much that He not only records our tears, but He puts them in a bottle. That is how precious you are to Him. He also numbers our wanderings. So no matter where you will be after Korea, God already knows and is preparing you for that adventure and it is clear that you are resting in the peace that provides!
Keep your head held high--you are THE child of a KING!
We love you!
