How do you wait?

2009 May 19

by traci

I find myself in another season/time of waiting. I am working, YEAH! But in my job, I wait for instructions on what to do. I get something to do, and I do it, then I wait for more instructions. I assert myself, and do things by my own intiative, then I wait for more work to do. So I “hurry up and wait.” I am in a great relationship with a man that I love, YEAH! We have great times together, he loves me, and we want to get married. We know we are going there, YEAH! We talk and talk, and the money isn’t there for a ring yet. Things keep coming up. So, I wait. I want to plan things, but I can’t till we’re engaged. So, I wait. SO, how do you wait? This season is SO full of “hurry up and wait.” I want to just enjoy the time, right where I’m at, so I don’t look back and say, “how did I get here?” This is the season of life that I’ve hurried through before, just to miss things. I don’t want to miss the little things this time. I want to enjoy. Lord, help me to enjoy this season you have me in. I know if you wanted me in another time, I’d be there…but obviously you don’t…so here I am. Help me wait.

We’ve fallen and we can’t get up June 8, 2009

Just a note to say that we have not abandoned our podcast. Mike is in the middle of finals and doing all of the last minute crap required to graduate. So his attention span is short, tempers are flaring and he’s exhausted. So as soon as he returns from California to walk and receive his [...]

Forgiveness and Vulnerability, oh my May 7, 2009

Inspired by an article in Radiant Magazine about a woman who forgave her father after an affair, that produced a child, we tackle the process of forgiveness, according to our experience.

My Utmost for His Highest

Shallow and Profound November 22, 2004

Beware of allowing yourself to think that the shallow aspects of life are not ordained by God; they are ordained by Him equally as much as the profound. We sometimes refuse to be shallow, not out of our deep devotion to God but because we wish to impress other people with the

'It is Finished!' November 21, 2004

The death of Jesus Christ is the fulfillment in history of the very mind and intent of God. There is no place for seeing Jesus Christ as a martyr. His death was not something that happened to Him— something that might have been prevented. His death was the very reason He came.Never build your
