This is a story that is longer than a blog post. So in a few days, I'll give you the full version. Because frankly...God deserves the public praise of the full version.
But I'm too excited to not give you a sneak peek of things to come!
For the last eleven years, I've been working at Indiana Wesleyan as a financial aid counselor. And in one month, I'll be leaving IWU to start a new...well...a new life, really.
I will be the new Mid-Morning producer at WBCL Radio. (You have no idea how strange it feels to type that out!! I have a huge smile on my face.)
This entire change came about in my life right at two months ago, and in that time, I've experienced (truly) the biggest "storm of peace" I've ever known. It's very unBekahlike. But it's completely Godlike.
I can't do much right now other than shake my head and wonder at what God is doing in my world. I can't believe He has seen fit to say yes to this...I can't believe the ways in which He has orchestrated it...and I can't wait to see what He has yet to do in this journey.
Until I can sit down and give proper credit to the story as it unfolded, I'll leave you with just those details and these prayer requests, should you feel led to pray about any of them.
* Selling the house. This new job is a bit of a commute and while it would work for a while, it's not at all something I want to be doing in the winter months. But in order to move, I need to sell my house, which is something that will take some God-intervention. I'm not nervous about it...because I've seen what God has done so far, and I know He can do this with no trouble! But I'd still appreciate prayers.
* Finding a new house. MUCH to think about. Rent? Buy? Apartment? House? Condo? AAHHH!! Definitely need some wisdom on this one.
* Safe travels. Until the housing is worked out, I'll commute, and while I'm not afraid of the drive, it's just a change in my routine.
* Finishing well. I still have a month left at IWU and I want to finish the job well and finish with grace. We're in a very busy season and I don't want to shortchange the students and parents in this time.
* Absorbent brain cells. While I'm very much looking forward to the new job and all it entails, there will be much to learn. I have a month with Jamie, the current producer, and I want to absorb from her all I can. This will be my opportunity for my creative juices to flow and I hope they go nuts!!

WOW!!! I can't believe you're leaving!
That's awesome. I had a feeling you were leaving IWU for something, but I have to say that I never, ever, in a million years, would have imagined that you were going to be a radio producer. That's awesome!
So are you moving up northeast? I think I know where WBCL headquarters are, but I guess I'm not sure.
I will be thinking of you and praying for you. I know it's a big change and a lot to think about, but I also know you'll be great. Congratulations!
I know!! I can't believe it either!!
I never would have imagined radio would be my next move either, but I'm so excited to join that family and be part of that ministry! Can't wait. CAN'T WAIT.
I do plan to move up that way - it's in Ft. Wayne.
Thanks for your prayers - I am so so so at peace and yet want to be faithful to pray about everything involved with the change.
you. will. be. AWESOME!
Thank. You. So so so looking forward to the change! (In case I'd not mentioned that.)
Words can't describe how happy I am for you Bekah!! You are one person that I know that deserves everything positive you get.
As for the commute, the biggest pain until you move will be GAS PRICES BOO!! hahaha :) I can't wait for game night at the new digs in Fort Wayne WOOT WOOT
Phats - You made me get a little tear in my eye! THANK YOU for those words. :) I can't wait to see just where I'll land in Ft Wayne and you can know we'll have a game night there to celebrate!! (For now I'll choose NOT to think about gas prices.)
