I restarted this blog because I wanted to be able to chronicle the things I am learning as I am in this period of waiting. I am learning. I am not sure how to share it though, a lot of it is between me and the Lord. I pray that as I post, my attitude becomes one of grace and mercy.That I give all of the glory to HIM and HIM alone. I have learned not to suppose and that His ways are way higher than mine. I have no idea what God is doing just that He is working. I get to see what He is doing and then make decisions about my life based on what I see Him doing. For instance, I know that my school is my mission field. Not just my ministry with my kids but with the ladies I work with. I can choose to gripe, complain or whine. Or... I can be that positive person in the room. I can "work heartily, as for the Lord, and not for men." Colossians 3:23 I am a people pleaser and that, more often than not, has failed me. I am going into a new year of reflection. I have been out of college for 20 years. I am not where I thought I'd be but oh am I in a good place. God has a plan, I don't know His plan but I can follow Him. That is where my faith steps in. However, the faith that I have doesn't come from me, even that faith is from God. I am waiting and praying for the right child at the right time. I am expectanly awaiting his or her or their arrival. I will wait, I will trust, I will stand firm, I will pray.
His mercies are new every morning and His grace is sufficient for me.
