You can have gaps in your writing as long as I can have gaps in my reading. =) I’m still reading!

I so enjoy reading your thoughts on life! =) Thanks for your comment and for the suggestion of the book. I’ll definitely check it out. Tonight Alan told me Jackson was really grumpy while I was gone and that Alan finally realized he was cold and bundled him up and he was instantly happier! Like mother like son! Your holiday travels sound wonderful and it’s so neat that you get to go back to see everyone! AND that you get to go to Dave Ramsey’s Christmas parties! =)

I’m beginning to see that waiting will always be apart of our lives. Like we mentioned at lunch last week, we will always be waiting on something in life, whether it is great or small. But, I think with much purpose God planned it that way for our good. I love what you said, “I’m here, as I am, right now, in the moments of life that God gives me.” Being thankful for every moment we have. Waiting for a lung transplant has given me that perspective and as I continue to wait He shows me more of what it is to be- “Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer.” Romans 12:12 I’ve found there is much to be learned in a season of waiting it’s just up to me to choose to be still and learn or do what God is wanting to show me. And as you can tell I’m still waiting so……..I probably haven’t finished learning. =)

thanks for sharing, i am reading! so many of the things you’ve said i want to respond to individually, however I’m not sure the “comments” section of your blog is the place to do it! Despite my comment tonight (about needing to figure out if this is really what i want to do) some things have actually happened recently and God has given me a new perspective on my attitude and constant desire for something to “happen” or “change”. As soon as i said that on the phone, i wished i could take it back. I’m in the habit breaking stage of this learning experience. God has revealed his heart and the nature of my sin and as I process and come to a deeper understanding of his desire my old habits will be broken. thanks for the update, looking forward to spending some time together soon!
