No News Is ....

TOUGH!!
So it's been two weeks since I updated about our trip to the Frozen Tundra and my visit to Shanghai. Immediately after my trips I contacted the two organizations that I felt were good program fits to let them both know I am seriously interested.  I can't say nothing has been happening, because it has, just not quite what I thought. That should not be a surprise by now, but still...
  • One organization has been in almost constant touch since then, walking me through the application process, answering questions and discussing roles. 
  • The other one?  Crickets. That's the surprising part -- even a "no, thank you" would be something.  So while it isn't a "no," it isn't a "yes" either and I am not sure what that means.
Obviously it looks like the first organization will most likely be our destination -- and I am very excited about that!  It's a great program; wonderful, dedicated staff; sweet young people to work with.  Before we count our chickens though, I still have an interview with their headquarters to complete, and then an official invitation if they think I am right for them. 
I'll confess that when I look at the countdown calendar (37 days) I can feel the tension rise a bit and the questions start to swirl, but when I keep my eyes on Jesus, I am confident in the work he has brought us here to do.  
So we wait...and pack...and count the days until we need to move...somewhere.
