The glass is half full

I was inspired by another blogger's post.

Version #1

Since falling off of the list in March, I had high hopes of being invited to the oral assessment. Instead, I got the proverbially vague "dear john" letter. That means another round of testing and another round of waiting. ugh and sigh.

Version #2

I'm really excited about what's next for Ben and me. You see, we had decided back in January that if I didn't make it to the oral assessment this year, what I really needed to do was work on a language. So that's what I'm going to be doing. My last day at my full time job will be September 2. After that, it's going to be some non-stop Hindi learning up in here. God is good and I've had people coming out of the woodwork with connections for language learning. None of the local colleges have classes but there are Hindu temples and community centers as well as just really nice people that are willing to help me find resources. And of course I'm going to continue to work on the Rosetta Stone program.

My parents have been amazing and are letting us move in with them. Financially, this makes sense for us and plus I may be one I know who actually likes living with their parents :)

So I don't know all of what God has in store for us, but I do know that we are provided for.

And I think the best part is that I'm not in limbo anymore. I'm not waiting on results or desperately preparing. I'm going to be moving on to the next step. And did I mention that I get to quit my job?
