As I was studying Sarah, from the Old Testament, during my quiet time today, I was referred to Psalm 130:5. As we know, Sarah did not wait for God to fulfill His promise to her and Abraham. Instead she took matters into her own hands and ended up making a mess of things. There are so many times when I feel myself stuck waiting. At least now that I am older, time seems to fly by, which really helps. Perhaps that also is one of God's many blessings. Anyway, playing the waiting game came be very difficult for me. I intend on committing this verse to memory because I know it will help by everyday life. When I read it I got inspired and hopeful. I was reminded, once again, that God knows all of my needs and He has an amazing plan for my life. If I can just stop and wait and put my hope in His word, then I will recognize His voice and see His plan. I know this sounds corny, but after reading this verse I got excited to start waiting! We'll see how long that lasts :).
I am thankful for...1. the way Michael gets so excited when he goes to look at the fish.
2. getting to go downtown with some friends to visit Cassie in the hospital. We even got to see her new baby girl, Reece. I tried to convince her to give Reece the name Christine as a middle name. But I am not sure she fell for it.
3. getting to my cycle class almost on time :)
4. Todd being soooooo helpful this morning. He got both of the boys up and dressed. Then he put away all of the clean dishes and washed the breakfast dishes. He knew I was in a hurry this morning and he pitched in. Thanks so much babe!
5. my mom leaving a cool message on my blog. I also enjoyed our phone conversation today. I like it when she calls and asks to see the boys on the video camera. We had lots of fun prancing around for her.
6. God giving me so many imperfect people as examples in my life. The collection of mistake makers found in the bible encourages me to recognize that God uses warped and tainted people to do great things.
7. Todd walking in the door right this very moment!
8. the fun play time the boys and I had today.
