Seeking God's will and your prayer!

Dear Sisters,
I rarely post here at our blog but this morning, the Holy Spirit seems to insist upon it. 
In prayer this morning, I felt for the first time that I understand what God's purpose is in my career and I come to you asking you to pray for me about this new knowledge.  I graduated with an associates degree (ADN) in nursing in 2004 and since that time, the Lord has promoted me far beyond what my education and experience would dictate.  Within 2 years, I was the Clinical Coordinator on my unit, 2 years later, a manager at my current facility.  In the years since I accepted my current position, I have been "groomed" and identified in succession plans to eventually become the Clinical Director (Director of Nursing) at my hospital.  I have been, of course, honored to be considered qualified for such an important role.  However, this would also require returning to school to complete my Bachelor's and then my Master's degree.  This is where things have become unclear for me as I cannot find the motivation or even the desire in my heart to take such a step.  Truthfully, I shouldn't hold my current position lacking a Bachelor's degree.  Anyway, I took this job in 2007 within weeks of my Gramma's passing and officially started in 2008.  We moved into this hours, my grandparents' house, and purchased it in 2008 as well.  In the intervening years, I've felt unmoored professionally.
This morning I was looking out the window at a robin splashing in our birdbath and I felt the still small voice of God.  He gave me a beautiful picture in my mind that I cannot accurately express.  This being the home of my grandparents, it is steeped in the feelings of childhood and the joy and love that I felt here.  The spring warmth and the birdsong in the trees is one of the few things in life that has not changed in the 40 years that I've known this house and I found myself daydreaming of my own grandchildren here. 
This is the moment when I believe I understood God's plan.  I believe my career path, which could be called miraculous, has been a means to provide financially in a way that would allow us to pay off our home and to retire early.  I believe that God ordains that this home one day will again be a place for grandchildren to run around the backyard and peek at robins splashing in the birdbath and to find the quiet and simple beauty of what life once was and I claim this for my own grandchildren.  I hesitate to say I KNOW God's plan but yet, I know ;)  If we are wise with our finances, I will not need that advanced degree that it seems I should pursue because I will not longer be working.  I will be here to care for my sons' kids while they work.
Even as I type, my heart is racing a bit and I hear the enemy whispering to me that this is my imagination, that I'm going to look like a fool, that the sisters will wonder who I think I am suddenly surfacing on this blog.  That last part cinched it, I don't believe you would think in such terms and so my spirit knows that satan is lying.  That said, I won't deny that the enemy is warring in my heart and trying to steal my joy at this new understanding.
So I am posting this to state my faith and to ask for your prayer that God would anoint this if it is his will.  It will not be easy financially, even with my current position.  But if it is the Lord's will, He will make the way.  Thank you, for your faithfulness to pray and to uphold that which pleases God even when it is so very old-fashioned to the world. 
Love to you all.

Praying this week...

If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.

2 Chronicles 7:14

Dear Sisters, A few weeks ago, I read on another blog about a woman who prays for her husband every time she sees a particular kind of truck (the type he works with.)  She uses this is as a prompt to stop and pray throughout her day.  With the events facing the United States, I felt impressed by the Holy Spirit to do something similar.  I am "fasting" from blogging and FB and every time I reach to use either of them, I will stop and pray for the United States.  I'll be absent from Facebook and blogging for the rest of the week as I dedicate that time back to the Lord.  I just opened my e mail to find my mom had suggested I share this on the Sister blog so here I am :) This will be my last post until next Sunday.  I pray you all have a blessed week and that you will consider how you will spend this week; daily taking the needs of nations around the world before the throne.   Grace, s
