As a child, I liked the game "Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego". I played it pretty often at school. But I never thought the game would someday be called "Where in the World is Sara Lyn". Yesterday, that became the name of the game.

At first, I thought for sure God was leading me back home to Iowa. Being certain of this, I minimally searched for a job, trusting that He would bring something to pass when I really had time to dig into my search. But then when I really started hunting, I realized that I might be running head on into a closed door there. So I broadened my search.

Yesterday, I decided to be bold and pursue other places in the Midwest, namely Illinois and Indiana. My thinking: anything less than 17 hours from home is good. So I searched, filled out an application and searched more. Coming up pretty much empty handed.

Fast forward to today and the name of the game. I have broadened my search...just by a little. In my normal fashion, rather than just expanding the parameters of my search to the borders of the US, I broke out and back to the country where I left my heart. Africa.

So, where in the world will Sara Lyn end up? Your guess is as good as mine, but I would greatly appreciate your prayers. God, being the procrastinator that He is :) has left me with a month to put something in place...I trust He will in the right time.

But I fear it will not include the dog or Iowa.
