Direct My Paths

Well, it's been quite a while since my last post and I'm not really sure where I want to go with this one. God knows though, so I'll just let Him lead me to His end.
I guess things have become a little exciting since I last wrote, as I haven't been to work since about September 18.
I had my arthritic thumb operated on and so have been on sick leave since September 20 and it will be approximately 6-8 months before I regain 100% use of my left hand. I have definitely decided that I am not going back to work (a) because I cannot continue to use my hands to do the work and (b) because I believe that God wants me to work for Him. I believe that for some time now, in fact, for most of my life, God has been preparing me for semi-retirement. There is a lot of work for me to do, both here in Australia and also overseas.
I am seriously thinking of teaching English to migrants, although I would have to do a course of study to qualify for that. There is also the ongoing wish to work with children and young people in some capacity and the desire to provide care and comfort to elderly folk. Only the Lord knows what I will do and when I will do it.
If you happen to stumble across this blog, I would love you to pray for me, that God will direct my paths and that I will be His obedient servant.
