still waiting

I'm still waiting to hear how things are going to turn out...I'll post more when I find out. In the meantime, I've been spending a lot of time giving things to God. He is in control...no matter what happens. Even if NOTHING happens, He knows what He's doing. He may just be wanting me to focus on Him more, to give up the steering wheel & let Him drive. He may just be opening my eyes to other opportunities, things I may not have thought of before.

I don't know. And that's okay. He knows & that is all that matters. By the way, my twitching eye has stopped (the minute I stopped worrying-was the minute it stopped) :)

Thank you Lord for your timing & not my own.

forgetting to breathe

I am forgetting to breathe. I need to take a big, deep breath & I just can't seem to. My mind is filled with the static of some life changes & I'm actually forgetting to breathe. I am not normally an anxious person. Actually not at all, I just don't worry about a lot. I tend to find the good out of every circumstance. I drive David crazy with that. But I'm feeling a bit anxious these days...I actually have a twitching eyelid because of this-it just won't stop. Some things came up that we didnt expect until around the fall. So we need to make some decisions a little early. Don't get me wrong, we DO feel this is God's hands...but wow, we didnt think our prayers would be answered soooo quickly! Over the next couple of weeks things around here will be changing dramatically...I need to find peace in my Lord once again & know that He is in control...(breathe in breathe out)

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.....there it is....

New Year

As I reflect on the year 2007 I think of utter craziness & utter JOY...the sell of our home, building our new home, moving my in-laws into our home, finishing the basement until they could move into THEIR new home, in-laws in a serious car accident, dealing with 2 new puppies that were very sick, sending the sick puppies back, getting a new HEALTHY puppy, Abby starting 1st grade, teaching Isabelle this year(pre-K), David's work craziness, screenplay ideas, commercial shoots, Abby dealing with 'true love', Abby learning the hard way about her role models making poor decisions, sharing with a young couple thru couple mentorship about marriage & life, loss of friendship, friendships being restored, forgiveness, God providing during hard times, God revealing himself in moments of feeling alone, planting grass, landscaping in-laws yard, welcoming old friends back to Ohio, helping the same friends flip their house, ideas, ideas & more ideas that God is giving us...I could go on & on!

Thank you God for another year of your faithfulness, help us to become more faithful to you this coming year. We will trust in you & we will strive to be joyful in ALL circumstances whatever 2008 brings!
