What are you waiting on the Lord to “finally” do?
Some of you have major cares, healings for loved ones, children to turn to God, and marriages to be restored that you are waiting on God to ‘finally’ act in. Some of us have less serious cares, but long with the same passion.
We find it so hard to wait, and when it finally comes, we say, “finally, I had almost lost hope.” Have you ever thought that Jesus is feeling some of the same feelings? He is up in heaven looking at us, trying to live in a world that is getting darker by the day. Watching us struggle with choices that in times past did not even exist. The difference between Jesus and us is he is not giving up hope! He knows God will finish what he started!
Jesus is to be our example in all things. He has a big ‘finally’ coming up, the day He comes back in glory and power! Not only will he say ‘finally’ but all of earth will breathe a sigh and say ‘finally’. But in the mean time, we must be about His business and wait through the hardship knowing God promises that there will be a ‘finally’.
Lord, help us to remember your example, not to get lost in the waiting, but to be working as we wait. Gently remind us at how you are in the same boat as us…waiting to come back and set all the wrongs to rights. And it is through this process that we grow closer to you. Amen

Yesterday was one of those days made for napping! Nothing makes me happier than taking a nap. I was raised in house where it was common to take naps, Chad's family never takes naps. I have pulled him into my nap taking ways.
Saturday night I went to a Chili Cook-Off at my mom's church. It happens to be the same church that I first accepted Christ in. It's weird how after 16 years, it still feels like home. I got to introduce Lauren to my first sunday school teacher, Sudie. She also leads a Moms In Touch group that gets together to pray for their school age children. Did I mention she is now 72? Doesn't look like it and is still going strong, still encouraging, challenging and sweet. That is what I want to be like when I grow up!!
I took a peek at MIT's website and out of all the schools in Bartow County only Woodland has a group of mom's praying in a specific group. I know mom's are praying, but if there happens to be one of you reading that is feeling a tug to do something like this, I can't recommend this organization higher.
Talking with Sudie was the highlight of my weekend! What was the highlight of your weekend?
