Can I just say I am exhausted! The past two weeks have been extremely busy. I feel as though Luke and I have had tons of meetings at work and then when we don't have meetings, we come home and work on the degree. I am REALLY looking forward to spring break. What's crazy is that we just had Christmas break and I'm already worn out!
This past weekend Luke and I had to make an unplanned trip to Miami because my grandmother was in the hospital. We left on Sunday and came back on Monday. Then last night, my mother called and told me my grandfather was in the hospital. So, my father's mother and father are now both in the hospital. It looks like things will be fine, but seeing them there just got me thinking about how fragile life is. On Saturday Luke and I were at a local hospital visiting a student of mine who was in a car accident. Again, reminding me of how fragile life is. You just never really know what may take place on any given day. I am really trying to take the time to thank God on a daily basis for the life he has given me; even when it's a bad day!
I'm also trying really hard to not get ahead of God's perfect timing. Let me explain. The school I work for is looking for a Curriculum Coordinator for next year. Well, I have applied and I have an appointment next Tuesday. While I think I am perfect for this position, what if God doesn't open this door for me? I have to be willing to wait on his perfect timing. I have to trust Him even when I don't understand. Along those lines is my thinking regarding everything else I want to do. I still want to put more time and thoughts into my Life Purpose Coaching and in turn, into my writing. But again, I have to wait for God's perfect timing. I have to be willing to be patient. It's hard. I'm the kind of person that wants answers now and in turn, want to have a clear picture of what is going to take place. As we know, God doesn't always work like that, He seldom does. So, along with teaching me how fragile life is, I am also learning to be patient.
So there you have it! What the Lord is currently teaching me. Ok, gotta run! Hope to post more soon!

He is teacing us all sweet friend ... patience it's so hard isn;t it?
As women we wear so many hats and I think that we have very restless hearts... we always feel like we need to do more. My sweet heavenly Father is teaching me as well... in His time.
