Waiting for the Open Door

I've been waiting and waiting, for what seems like forever, to go on another mission trip. There are SO many that I would LOVE to go on! But things keep getting in the way of me going on most of them, whether it being, my financial state or timing. I keep praying God will open a door and then go further, and just take OFF the door, so it can't be closed again lol. But, patience is one of those things I'm going to have to get used to if I want to be a missionary.

I'm not going to waste time though! With my time here, still at home, I've been babysitting a lot and I just started taking a Perspectives class, which I'm really excited about. I love hearing from missionaries! (maybe this is one of the reasons God hasn't sent me somewhere yet - so I can learn more, by going through this class). I'm also trying to really reach out to the many people in my own community. After all, you've gotta start at home before you can branch out, right? :)

My parent's are going through the adoption process again, which I'm SO excited about! I can't wait to have another brother or sister! And hopefully I can go back to China when they go to get the kid(s)! (that's one of the "mission trips" I want to go on). But, patience and prayer is what I'm doing for the time being :)
