Follow My Heart

That's the advice my future son-in-law gave me.

I called you today to ask your advice but you were not there and I was told you would be gone until next week.

It reminded me of a sermon. One day no one will be there to give y
⁴ Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! ⁵ Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. ⁶ Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. ⁷ And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

⁸ Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. ⁹ Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me—put it into practice.

Do I want to go back to the same old thing at the same old place? He asked me what turned me off on education and I said it was the actual act of being in education. The children, the parents, the administrators, its all a challenge. There is challenge in every thing.  They can guarantee me until the end of the school year. I don't have any other offers. I can stay in the reassigned pool and see what that is like while I am looking until June also, when I can make a better decision.

I want to take the time to think and explore my options. I have until November 14. I wanted to follow a dream with you in Hawaii. I knew you were thinking about Hawaii, I could feel it.

I don't know, but when I think of following my heart, I think of you. Where would it lead? I feel ready for so much more with our relationship.
