I am not a patient person. I am more patient than some only because of years of practice as a mother, but I am still not very good at waiting. Well here is how I know God is preparing me for something….EVERYTHING and I do mean EVERYTHING that I have had to do over the last few weeks has required waiting. Waiting for doctors to call back about Jarrett. Waiting for prescriptions to be filled. Waiting for Christmas to get here. Waiting for the ball to drop on New Year’s. Waiting for test results from MY doctor. It just seems endless and forever frustrating me. And then today I sit with my dear nephew, trying to get him squared away with his college admissions…grr, well actually it wasn’t horrible, I was quite productive today. I took J to college campus, made sure he is set to register, and see a counselor, and get the $ to pay for whatever classes he registers for….YAY ME, plus I was also able to pick up my husband’s books for his classes while I was on campus AND buy the materials my son needs to complete his cell project. ALL IN ALL it was a good day I suppose and then I got back in time to pick my girls up from school. Now it is nearly dinner time and my oldest daughter comes and asks me if she can start fixing dinner!! BONUS!! (ok, so its only frozen pizza, not too hard, but kind of her to offer)
So God is trying to get me to appreciate what I have, to slow down and smell the coffee, or roses, or whatever beauty he is bringing my way. Well thank you Lord for giving me the strength I need!!!
I look forward to the beginning of a new semester of college, and I am thrilled to still be able to volunteer at the school, and help with the community garden at the Utterly Divine Center. I have also been invited by my friend Kristin to begin an exercise regime with her and I am thinking I should take her up on it!!
Until later, my pizza is almost done. Until then, learn the lessons while you wait.
