My Travel Days Are Not Over

I like to begin this blog entry with a question to Jesus.  Where are you sending me now?
I went to Sunday mass today, and one of the things that spoke to me during the homily was that Jesus asks us to follow His commandments.  If you love me, then follow my commandments.

We are caught between being children of Jesus, and our own desires. Sometimes, our desires seem to win over trusting Jesus.  I prefer this, not that.  This is to also say..

Jesus, I want to stop traveling. I want settle in one spot. But Jesus tells me, your work is not finished. I am now sending you to travel within the United States of America.  That's right, boys and girls.  My next trip is to Hillsboro, Oregon and if it wasn't for several high-level meetings in DC the week after I leave Florida, I *would have* also been sent to Minnesota.  Hmmmm....

It just appears to me, that when I came back from Baghdad, I thought I would be teaching computer courses in Fort Lauderdale.  That would mean I would not be traveling. But plans change because God is in control, LOL.  So with the extra funds, and a permanent instructor in place, they sent me on many trips to posts around Canada, Caribbean and South America to do site visits.  Then, I got DC as assignment hoping to do LOCAL DC travel. Now it's continental United States travel to recruit our future leaders.  Can't wait to see what God has plans for me. But hopefully, and I pray that His plans for me will soon be stable. For the sake of my own sanity.

Well, as we are short staff in my new office, it just may be that a way. Unless my future boss has access to a myriad of resources.  I am confident she will, because she believes that smarter, not harder is the way to go.  And me.. Smarter means fast typing and recruiting in virtual chat rooms (job fairs), moderating life webinars and Facebook events.  In the meantime, I'm OK with Toastmasters improving my verbal "eloquence" as Moses once said he did not have.
