How do you wait?

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.
Rachel Ray’s episode
12 May 2009 Leave a Comment
While working at home, I am afforded the opportunity to watch a little TV throughout my day. I like to call it “therapy” or a small connection to the outside world. It is much different working from home then in an office anywhere. I’ve had to learn and am learning how to allow the Lord to sustain me and fulfill all my needs. I’ve realized how dependent on human interaction I am. This is showing me that my Lord is my soure! Anyway, not why I’m writing…but good stuff none the less.
Today on Rachel Ray I am watching Kate Gosslin of Jon and Kate plus 8. You all know that I’m a fan of the Gosslins. I love how real they are. Not a parent myself, and not even married, so I don’t understand it all…yet I value how they exhibit their life in a real way. They too know its all about God…and yes, they aren’t perfect! Its great. Today on Rachel Ray, Kate said it’s all about the kids. Regardless of what is happening in the tabloids, whatever “the world” wants to make of it, Kate is handling it with class. Jon and Kate…I am praying and salute you both for what you do and how you love your children. Kate said today that its neat to watch her children grow together, yet they have eight different personalities and how she loves to bring those forth in each of them. Kate…keep up the good work. The Lord bless you and know that He is singing over you with His love!
On another note…Rachel is going to be doing a segment (called “can I wear?”) on chosing the right wedding dress…I’m interested to see what will be shared here too! 
Advice #1 – get ideas from pictures first. #2 – Set yourself up for success…set the budget for the dress and then go to a store with a similar budget….Good advice!
New Job update
23 Apr 2009 Leave a Comment
So about two and a half weeks ago I started working for Restoration House Ministries Internation (RHMI). It is the ministry that was started last year from a vision given to our director (my previous head pastor). It is a ministry that is “called to raise up a generation of prophetic intercessors and anointed messengers who give themselves to revival in the Church and a great harvest of souls among the nations.”
I am very excited to see where this “job” takes me. I say “job” loosely because I feel more privileged to be able to do what I do. Although the work side of things has been slowly taken off, with training, and learning. (One thing I’m doing is the bookkeeping; with no bookkeeping experience…I’m hoping Quickbooks will be my guide!) I still feel as if I’m part of something bigger than me! There are SO many aspects of this position and place in my life yet unknown, but its the exciting part now for me. I know I have a place, I know I’m heading towards something great and the twists and turns along the way haven’t hurt too much! Great things are yet to come!
