Slowly... into Forward Motion

So we've been officially invited now! It might sound a little late to be invited to you, but this is a formal invitation that gives way for the rest of the process to proceed. Progress is being made, that's the update, and my funding is at about $1800! (that's about 70%) I'm so thankful that God works things out and that I have wonderful support from all you donors out there. Thank you!

My current state is: tired. Not actually physically tired, but emotionally tired of this world. Last weekend I co-planned a church service with my good friend, Becky Perdew, based on how much we need God to have meaning in our lives. The church service went quite well, even my sermonette that God completely took over - it was great. :) Now, in the aftereffects of being so spiritual I feel like I always have to live up to that level of intimacy with God, even though I know I'm not ready for it. This is emotional exhaustion. I am ready to be so close to God that nothing can separate me from him... wait that's the way it is... sometimes I just need a little perspective. ;) [Romans 8] But still, it takes a lot of rising and falling to get maturity and my spiritual maturity is farther behind than I would like it. Unfortunately this means to be closer to God I have to go through a few more trials, but this is hardly a sacrifice when I think of the endgame.
