Planning

One year ago we were living in Ankara, Turkey. Tolga was working the last week of his job - unbeknownst to the both of us. Two years ago I was single, starting my first week at a new dynamic charter school whilst living in my apartment in Harlem. Three years ago I was starting my last year in New York City's public schools and commuting from Jersey.

This (school) year we are jobless and living with the support of my parents.

I wonder what next year will bring.

We are trying to plan for it. Working on finding jobs and paying bills and managing mortgages far away. Our renter would like to stay. Our Coop would like to charge us and add some more rules. We would like to sell. What will come of all these things?

I could look at this as exciting times, because now more than ever we are being made aware of God's hand in all things - in the beginning, middle, and end the Lord's will will be done and He is all we are able to look to for hope. Our prosperity is in whatever the Lord's will be - I just hope we living in submission to this because it is all we will ever have.
