YES! Good news for a Monday

My boss returned today from various travels all over the world, building partnerships and agreements with other educational institutions. One of them that he visited is the place I'm applying for a job. He met the mega-boss and was impressed by the place.

As a result, today he's emailing the mega-boss, recommending me as highly as he can without bribery. Now, I'm pretty happy about this, as you can imagine. But perhaps my boss just can't wait to get rid of me? :)

In preparation for a possible move, yesterday I tackled the garage and all the stored junk there. I ended up with one box of "keep" stuff, a huge pile of things to throw out, and many, many things to be sold or donated. Including enough books to start my own library. It was quite an expedition - I discovered things I had completely forgotten about, and got to throw out things I'm glad to see gone. Lots of fun!

I've blogged before about how I can't really hear God speaking, but how I go by open doors and "instinct". Everything's telling me that this is the time that God wants us to go. It's not going to be at all easy though - I'm going to be starting from scratch in every single way. It's going to mean giving up some comforts and trusting completely in God to lead us and help us. But I think the time has come.

You're sure to hear a lot more on this subject as time goes on! Be warned...
