but us I feel like. As our time here in seminary continue to dwindle now, people are looking towards the next step. Many are being lead to the mission field or towards a certain region of the US. So you may be asking, "So Shannon, what are you guys planning on doing?" and I would say, "Great question, got any ideas?"
I, being a planner, want to know and have it all planned out, but the Lord doesn't want me to have it all planned out. He is teaching me to be patient and realize that His plan for us is great and He is going to use us in a mighty way.
Still it's hard for me to see friends (especially one I have gotten really close to) planning to leave the country. JD has been preaching these last few weeks on our global vision and reaching the ends of the earth with the gospel. He really challenged us to say, "Lord, I'm going to go unless you stop me" instead of "Lord, I'll go if you call me." I been thinking if I can really say that. I know also that I am part of team and that I don't make decisions just for myself. Jeremy and I have been praying about where the Lord is leading us and he doesn't feel like we are called to go overseas but sometimes I do. I would love for the Lord to give us a giant neon sign. I have to learn to be patient!

I know my son, Ben and his wife, Sarah would love to go to an overseas mission field if at all possible. (They are in seminary at Southern Baptist in Louisville.)
