  A lot has happened since I blogged last. A WHOLE LOT! When I said in that last blog that I was being tested and tried with this giant fork in the road, I was right!
I had 3 different opportunities to choose the settled life. 3!!!!! That's quite a few! And all in one week! I was being tempted with the life of the settled, not the life of the chosen. Thanks to Sandy listening to God, I know that the desires of my heart will be fulfilled someday with the husband, family, and home.
But I also know, now, that that's not all! What I chose at this testing time was the road covered in jungle roots!!!!! And tigers laying in waiting!!!! :) I chose the harder, unseen path. I'm ready to be radical. I'm ready to be a spitfire for God!! And I'm ready to WAIT... For my husband, family, and home.
Ok, to be totally and completely honest with everyone on here, I was tempted with three different men. (Yes, being married is a huge temptation. ) And all three of them represented a different kind of settling. Each man was pursuing me!!!!!! Man, I haven't been pursued by a man... Not ever, really. And then I was bombarded with three men in a week! If that isn't Satan, himself, I don't know what is! And all three men wanted to take care of me.
They could see the huge call on my life and could also see how vulnerable I am to... to attack and pain. I guess I have that "deer in the headlights" look! :) But, and this is amazing, I was able to tell them, all of them, that I need more. I need more than just protection and love. I need a challenge! I need the love of my life to be an inspiration to find more God!!!!! He needs to be my spiritual leader, not just a safety net. That's what the three men were: a safety net.
God let me be tempted. He did! He wanted me to see for myself what I wanted. He also wanted me to be strong enough to choose it for myself. Did I pass the test, God? I think so, though not without a few more bumps and bruises. That's ok. The more I suffer for God, the more I realize what He suffered for me. And I ain't seen nothing yet!!!!!!!!
