Do the Next Thing

After telling my students that I would be leaving

I was feeling pretty heavy-hearted.

I found one of my dear co-workers and she prayed with me.

One of her heroes is Elizabeth Elliott.

She told me what Elizabeth did after her husband was killed on the mission field.

She would just tell herself, "do the next thing."

So, now I hear God via Elizabeth through Lori speaking into my situation,

through the doubt

worries

unknown

sadness at leaving

"do the next thing."

"do the next thing."

So, that's where I am

doing the next thing,

trying to trust God,

as He invites me to do something beautiful with Him.
