It seems like I'm always just waiting...

I found out recently that I live my life waiting around for the next thing. Right now I am waiting for this semester to be over so I can have time. Time for what, you may ask--well I'll tell you. I want time to bake pumpkin bread, write without time constraints, come up with a new recipe for dinner and have time to fix it if all goes terrible wrong. I want time to drink coffee before it gets cold, and time to read a book without skimming. But here's what I've found out--life is always busy. There will always be the next thing that is about to happen, and I will always find things that need to be done I didn't account for.

Everett has just completed his masters and now it has us thinking, what next? Should he finish his Phd, go to law school, or both? Should I teach? Should I keep working at the clinic? Or is it time for kids? All these questions have to do with time--oh that precious time!

I haven't been enjoying the season that I am in currently.

I am busy and just wait for that week or month I think will be less busy so I can get caught up on laundry or whatever... but I'm learning to enjoy NOW. I am learning to ignore the dishes sometimes and enjoy my husband and be spontaneous. I am learning to pursue my husband, to pursue the Lord, and to wait on the Lord. Today is all I have, this is what I've learned.
