This week at work the talk of holiday party planning has begun, and with the arrival of November, it seems Christmas has also arrived. Decorations are showing up around neighborhoods and shopping centers, countdowns are on, let the “busy” begin. As the season approaches I have thought a couple of different times about events I’ve…

After 31 days of writing and leaving for a work trip, it feels like I’ve neglected my blog! Catching up on a couple of “traditional” posts this week. Since I’m not in a school this year, there was no “Pink Out” spirit week, I decided to make my own….#pinktober Fridays in support of breast cancer…

…and then it was the end of October! Time flies! I have learned through years of waiting and questioning God that instead of always thinking “WAIT” was my “thorn in my side” it really is another chance for me to believe God. That I have to really let go and trust Him. I don’t always…

{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…

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…
