A Fresh Start

While I have been blogging for a while, I am recently coming back from a break. I was under the mindset that making regular posts was a bit time consuming. Yet, now that I have been away from it for a while, I am finding that it is really a great way to journal.  Not only for myself but for my family, we well.  So...

I am back!

In recent months I have been in a place of waiting...
  • waiting to find out if our family will be making a move and if our home will sell
  • waiting to start some home improvement projects
  • waiting for some motivation to take better care of myself
But in all honestly,  I am really waiting to learn how to live my life with balance.

During this time of waiting, I have learned much about myself.  I am a control freak who lacks much patience.   I have never been a patient child.  In fact, I would say I am more like a toddler.  I want what I want, and I want it now!  However, my Father is growing me up in this area.  He is a great teacher that way!  Patient enough to wait for me to figure out what He wants for me next!  For this I am so thankful.  I don't deserve His love, but it is a gift that I will accept graciously! I do not yet know what changes are in store for our family, but I know that the Lord is good and that He will not give us more than we can handle.

Until next time...
