{I took a late “nap” after work, that lasted a few hours, and crossed the midnight line, but I couldn’t NOT write when it’s down to the last 2 days of #write31days!! It’s still technically the 30th to me. That was a nap and I’ve been thinking about this all day.}   This morning before…

The one. The elusive one. Here’s the deal, there is only One, and other than that, it’s not “the one”. I have found The One, Jesus, who loves me, seeks me, cares for my heart, treasures me, adores me, wants the best for me and delights in me. The worldly “one” might do those things…

“If you could be or do anything, what would it be?” I’ve been asked that question countless times and it’s one of the hardest to answer. Depending on who’s asking, the answer may vary too. If it is someone who really knows me, then they know my gifts and my heart. If it’s a stranger,…

Another one of the hardest waits is for something mostly, if not almost always, completely out of our control. WAITing for an answer to prayer.  Maybe for self.  Maybe for others.  Maybe for circumstance.  Maybe for change.  Maybe for results.  Maybe for healing.  Maybe for grief.  Maybe for help.  Maybe for community.  Maybe for rain. …

“We’ll get back to you in a week or so”  “I will call you.”  Oh, if I could count the times I’ve WAITed in the silence, it is so so many times. This WAIT is one that makes the mind come up with the worst of lies. Unworthy.  Unqualified.  Undesired.  Not liked.  Not good enough. …

(As I mentioned before, I’m taking a break from writing about “WAIT”  on Sundays and catching up on what’s been going on.) This last week was one of those something-every-night weeks, except for Monday. That meant Monday night was get everything done necessary for the week because I wouldn’t be home much in the evenings. If…

I was thinking all day I wasn’t going to wait until night to write.  In case you’ve been reading this month and wonder if I actually write every day, yes, I do. I don’t think there has been any day that I pre-posted this month. Today was the first Saturday in a few I had…

One of my favorite things about my classroom when I was teaching was the windows that looked out on the sunrise. There were many days I didn’t turn on my lights when I walked in my room because I wanted to snap a quick picture of the sunrise. Now, I drive to work in the…

Today at work I was helping a teacher with a software install…that took what seemed like a sweet forever. I kept thinking as I was watching the progress “A watched pot never boils”…but finally it did complete. After we WAITed for well over an hour, not so patiently watching this little status update… I started…

This weekend was a very special day for my nephew, he was baptized in my parent’s church. He has talked about this day for well over a year, he’s been anxiously WAITing for it. In fact, he got the hands mixed up on the clock and jumped on my Mom’s bed at “6:15 am” {really…
