Where is God Leading Me?

This is the question that has been on my heart ever since I found out that I was going to be leaving Luton. I was almost deathly afriad to be going back to the 1500 people village of Caronport and once again being sucked into the "back burner" way of life that I was used to in Caronport. I was (and still am) questioning how God would be able to use me back here. However, in the last few weeks God has really put summer camp ministry into my heart. I know that it can only be God because I have never had the desire to work at camp before now. I had a preliminary phone interveiw yesterday with a camp in Northern Manitoba. It went really well. However, I found out that the position is only for 6 weeks. Not sure what to do about it. This morning, I had a chat with the Sasktachewan director for Christian camps and they are in need of program directors as well so he asked me to apply. I have the 5 page application form sitting in front of me right now. It needs to be in asap. Want to know what my devotions focused on today? Ironically, it focused on Isaiah 6, but especially verse 8 " Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying "Whom shall I send, And who will go for us?" Then I said, Here am I! Send me." It was pretty powerful words after hearing about the need in so many camps. Anybody else besides me think that this was a direct word of God for me? Question now is, if this is where God is leading me, how do I pick the camp to be at this summer? Any insights you might be able to offer me would be greatly appreciated.

Jana - I started reading your blog when you were in Luton and really enjoyed it. I'm a Canadian who spent a semester at Oxford, and I know how hard it is to go back. I hope you are able to find somewhere fulfilling to work, summer camps are hard, but rewarding, right?
