Waiting in the Desert

Well, for now we are currently residing in the desert.  It is looking like we will be waiting another month before visiting the "Land of the Green".  The good news is that I have much more time then originally expected to get things done around here.  I began to have a bit of a panic last week when I looked at my to-do list and the calendar.  I didn't know how in the world I would possibly accomplish all that needed to be done before the flight out.  At first I was a little sad to have to wait and then realized that may be God was being gracious in giving us more time.  I am also excited for the ability to study more of Irish history.  Paul is bringing home videos for us to watch with the kids and I have a couple of videos I checked out from the local library.  We are going to cook up some popcorn and learn all we can about Ireland.  The extra time will also give us the opportunity to go over Paul's Irish ancestral history as well as my Welsh history.  We are hoping to map out where our families came from and take a family trip out there.  We already have all that we need to see the county and towns we came from. 

I don't wait well but I am learning to wait.  God has used many instances to teach me to wait and I have learned over time that it's not so bad waiting.  It's just another process of this life. 
So, let the waiting begin.....................


Verse for today:

Even youths grow tired and weary,
and young men stumble and fall;
 but those who hope in the Lord
will renew their strength.
They will soar on wings like eagles;
    they will run and not grow weary,
they will walk and not be faint.

Isaiah 40:30-31
