Trusting God

I am learning how to really trust God. It is important to trust Him in every situation- good or bad. Yesterday was a little tough for me as my granny was taken to the hospital. The first thing I had heard was that she might have had a heart attack. This was incredibly difficult at first. I really wanted to hop on a plane and come home so I could be with my family. But God told me to wait. And pray. Being so far away, that was all I could do. And so I prayed and waited to hear news. Praise God it was not her heart and she is doing better now. In those few hours (that seemed like days), I learned to really trust God. I mean, He knows what He is doing. He knew I would be here when that happened. And He is teaching me to trust Him in all situations. It is important to go to Him with everything, not just in bad situations.

So lately God has been putting the people in Alaska on my heart. I'm not really sure what this means. Maybe He just wants me to pray for them. Or maybe He is calling me back there. Before I came to Peru, I wasn't sure how long God wanted me here. I was praying about returning home at the end of May or the beginning of August. I felt like God wanted me to stay here until August, but I have still been praying about it. And now I feel like God is putting Alaska on my heart. Is He calling me back earlier to go there? There is also a small problem with the ESL position here in Lima for the summer. A group of three signed up to work in Lima with ESL. This left me without my position because having four is just too many. We may be able to work our way around this too, but now I am wondering if God is calling me elsewhere for the summer. Please, I could really use some prayers on this. I want to be obedient to God and do exactly what He wants me to do. If any of you have any thoughts on this too, I could definitely use some guidance.
