Timing

Dear Friend,

Sorry about the long absence. It is amazing how life is so busy. So...hello again!

I have been thinking a lot lately about how life seems to be going so far. I think all of my pondering began around Thanksgiving time. We were sitting around looking at pictures from my internships and my brother said something like this..."Wouldn't it be sad if that was the most exciting thing you ever did?". My brain has really been working those words over! I know that life is not all about excitement but, I truly hope that I did not reach the height of excitement at the age of twenty!

Then, I think about the last two years of my life. I went straight from college to Florida. I loved what I was doing and I really learned a lot. However, as time moves along difficult lessons came, and it seemed like I had many difficult lessons to learn. While I loved what I was doing it was not a bed of roses...but who expects that...I mean really. Then at the end of August '08 I learned that what I had loved and invested in was coming to an end (at least for the foreseeable future). So, with a heavy heart I made a choice. I tried to help my beloved students transition into their new schools as smoothly as possible and then, I moved.

I can not understand the time table up to this point (just a little honesty)! I know that God sees the big picture. I am currently living with my dear sister and a friend of ours. We have many joyful times together. I am still growing and learning...I mess up ... and these two dear friends have shown me every kindness (thanks girls).

I am enjoying being with friends and family. I know that God is in control of every situation. He is supplying my needs and I love Him more now than ever before. While I may suffer a few growing pains I know that it is worth it for, I do not seek comfort here, but I seek and strive for my heavenly home.

As far as excitement is concerned I will choose to be content in this moment. Who knows the next great life experience may be just around the corner!

I want to close this lengthy jumbled post with the words to a song. I have always loved this song. I think that somewhere in the family archives we have a very humours recording of me singing this song (tee-hee) but, the words are so good and so meaningfully to me today. I hope that they will encourage you.

In His time, in His time

He makes all things beautiful in His time.

Lord my life to you I bring,

May each song I have to sing,

Be to you a lovely thing, in your time.
