What I mean is that several things are happening this year for me professionally and it seems as though the progress that I am trying to achieve professionally is tied to what I am trying to achieve long term spiritually.  When I started this journey back in 2000, I said to myself the following… I am returning to finish my education to accomplish the following things… I want to be able to have a profession that allows me to provide for my family anywhere in the world.  I want to learn a second language to see what God would do in terms of opening doors for world missions.  So, I chose a degree in Spanish and Education because that seemed like the closest thing to those priorities.  I would at the very least eventually be able to take summers off and do missions work, at the very most, be able to just go to the mission field and never come back.  I also said that finishing the entire education program with its ups and downs was a priority.  There being several major milestones along the way that would seem to present a change in direction, I just stayed the course.  Now, I am going to really cross the final finish line in August of this year.  I mean, I will have my Masters of Science in Education, my permanent certification in Secondary Spanish and I speak Spanish pretty well.  I could move to Spain and function in the language very well taking a year or two to really be high level.  My ultimate goal for my speaking ability is to be very high level.  I have met a lot of missionaries that speak so-so.  They get by, but have stopped applying themselves to language learning.  I have never taken this approach because of credebility issues.  I don’t want short cuts.  I want to be as close to a professional native speaker ability as possible.  I want to be able to translate materials in the field and not have to depend upon others.  I would need instruction in an immersion environment to bring me where I want to be.  Anyway… Now that I have entered the teaching profession and will have finished by August, I am approaching a stage where I am saying… Ok God… what next?… all the while trying to be a fruitful in my family and ministry here as I can.  I can see myself working until I am able to go and it is as simple as that.  Waiting for the timing of God…  I have lately been giving thought to Bilbao lately.  I can’t find anyone who is doing anything there…
