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.

New Job update

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!
I did it!

I finally did it! I decided which avenue I’m going to make a little more money and get myself out of debt (and maybe even buy some nice things). I’m going to sell Pampered Chef! I just filled out my agreement online and now I guess I just wait till I get everything I need to get started! I am SO excited to be able to do something that I enjoy and to get paid for it. It’s the way I feel about my job at the church…I often find myself thinking ‘I can’t beleive I get paid for this.’ So it will be with PC! Yea!
Days off

What do you do with days off. Right now, with the schedule I work, I am off on Mondays. No more Monday blah’s for me. Although they kinda carry over into my day off anyway. I work more during the weekend than I used to, so to adjust my hours I re-arranged them to include Monday as an off day. But I’ve run into a dilema. What to do with my day off. I’m not a mom, so I don’t have kids to worry about running around. So, you’d think I’d do something super spiritual and read my bible all day long or at least hold a half-day prayer metting in my living room. Far from it. I generally sleep in, watch ABC’s Family channel all day long, and think about what I have to do tomorrow at work. I’ve thought of all these great “me-day” ideas…everything from going to see a movie by myself (which would take a lot for me to do) to painting pottery or even going to a coffee house with a book and just reading. All sound great, but all cost money. As I’m trying to really watch my money and budget…I’ve run out of ‘entertainment’ money for the month…so those things are a no go. The past few Mondays I have spent the day with my cousins scrapbooking…another viable option, but they didn’t tell me that they were doing that today and I have nothing to scrapbook. So what is there to do on your day off, that’s free, that is fun and relaxing? Who knows…I think for now, I’ll go brew some coffee, grab a book, and curl up in my favorite chair.
