Learning....

"Enjoy where you're at on the way to where you're going" Joyce Meyer That was God's word to me today. Thank you Jesus for dying,shedding your blood so that I have life - and should I not be enjoying that every moment...oh to have an eternal perspective. Workin' on it! On another note, this was proof that my oldest is listening but needs a lot of time to process. A few months ago his teacher was reading the passover story.... yesterday he randomly says to me "Mommy if we lived in Bible times and you would forget to put blood on our door then the angel of death would come take me" I guess he was thinking about being the firstborn and the importance of it or his mother's forgetfulness is starting to scare him :) Love him dearly.

Perspective

I've always been one to feel sorry for myself (quietly of course~until now I wouldn't have admitted it but you know this terrible 'honesty' thing I have going on) and today I was doing just that. As a child my dad would often say "Should I bake you a cake?" and I knew what that meant. He was suggesting that I was having a pity party and well every good party needs a cake!! I have been feeling like we're stuck - not sure if we should walk forward, sideways or backward or if we're missing God's leading, His speaking, His direction. My sister said it well when she used the words "Holding Pattern". I would love to know what He has for us but in waiting I need to worship, live and cherish. I'm not doing any of those things. I'm getting frustrated, annoyed and frazzled instead (just looking at that makes me shake my head - why would I choose the last 3 instead of the first 3)... And so in seeking some perspective before I head to bed I read a blog that I love...http://kissesfromkatie.blogspot.ca. Enough said. Tonight I will go to bed with thankfulness in my heart and a quiet spirit to hear God speak and tomorrow I will wake with gratitude and worship.
