I’ve been wondering, Papa, if maybe You are preparing me to move on to other things (my ponderings about the reasons why can be found over on my blog My Church Journey. I’ve been a bit worried, I have to admit, about what kind of job I could get that would allow me time off when I need it to go and visit my daughters when their babies arrive (three of them are expecting within the next few months), and allow me to take vacation time with my husband in the summer, and all…
And I was talking to my friend P on the phone today, and she said she and her women’s group are trying to decide on a new Bible study topic, and someone suggested the book of Acts, and she had right away said, “Oh! It would be so great to have Norma help us with that!” (and I remembered wonderful studies I’ve been part of in the past…)
And then I got another one of those Sheila Wray Gregoire emails today about a program she has developed about “Raising up new speakers” … in fact, she has a whole blog about it (and I remembered times I’ve spoken to women’s groups in the past…)
And I got an email recently asking me if I would be willing to tutor their child (and I remembered how much I enjoyed tutoring in the past…)
And I’ve had such a wonderful time lately with facebook photos, writing, chatting online, and journaling and blogging, and the online groups I have started… so on and on… and all those encouraging and helpful emails from the Zen Habits blog guy…
And I’m wondering if You really are preparing me to STEP OUT into something new, something that is more flexible and might allow me to go here and there, and do this and that, whenever and wherever You open Your Way….
I love You, Lord! Thank You! Amen!!!
