Resting and waiting...

I was hoping to be able to raise enough of the money to go to Micronesia this time, but I wasn't. As I have said no matter what God is good and I won't stop fighting for what I know God has called me to. So for now, after much prayer, I am resting in what I know God has called me to and waiting for him to do it. I'll be working as well and hope is to save up money for what is next. I am praying he will continue to show me his will and his heart.
One thing I will say about this, I am not good at resting and waiting. I end up feeling like I have wasted so much time in my life and I just want to go. I am learning the importance of waiting and resting though. It's probably one of the hardest things I will ever do though. My brain races a mile a minute with things that I could do right now to help God prepare me... I keep hearing him say when praying, "Get ready, you're going" and I have no idea what that means. Until I know what that means, I am resting and waiting. There are many things I am thinking about, but I want to know what God is thinking about. I want what he wants. I am continuing to seek his face and prayers are appreciated. There are many opportunities available to me, I just want the one that God wants. I know he has give us brains for a reason and I can choose and I have also learned that God usually knows best. So, I'd rather spend time resting and waiting on him to talk with me about it. He has already been telling me a little, it just the timing, the finances, and me being physically, emotionally, and mentally ready.
Thank you all for your prayers! I know some of you are still wanting to give, and you still can through Bridges of light ministries webpage http://bridges-of-light.com/turnock.htm
which are tax deductible or paypal. The money will be saved towards ministering here, airline tickets, and expenses for traveling. There is a school coming up in March at the  Iris Micronesia school and also one in August of next year. I am not sure if I will be going or not. I am also praying about traveling this winter over to DRC, Uganda, Rwanda, and Burundi... maybe a few other places. I also will be making sure to visit South Africa soon! Not sure what soon is, but I know I have to see my kids there! I so thankful that God takes such good care of them and the house parents there. They have such a wonderful community of people that love them so much!
Blessings of  love, joy, peace, strength, and REST,
