Ever had the days speed by and then come to a complete stop? That’s what today feels like for me. Mom and I went to look at houses and boy did we find a doozy. It’s beautiful. The floor plan is very open, which means that if my parents ever need wheelchairs they could do wheelies in the living room!!! I’m very excited. It is about 15 minutes from the kids school and 15 minutes from my house. She put a contract on it…. But there are no guarantees… it has another contract too, soooooo the bank gets to decide. Now we play the wait game, and hope everything goes okay with their selling their home, so as to get into this one… so many ifs.

And yesterday we went to the hairdresser, and I could kick myself for not taking more pictures, but both she and I got a new do.. and maybe my new style will help me with my new job.

This morning the kids are in school, but it’s been kinda hectic too. Daisy decided this morning would be an excellent time to chase the outside kitties, so just as we were leaving, off she went, which made us late. Then I called Mom and she’s on her way to the airport and she’s lost, and we’ve just figured where she is and where she needs to go. I hope she makes her flight.

And now nothing… the house is quiet and I’m thinking about the new house, and my new job, and calling the air conditioning man, and making the lasagna the kids want for dinner, despite the fact that they won’t be home for dinner because Awana is tonight and whether or not Steve ordered the belts for my steam cleaner, and all the things I need to be doing other than blogging.

Oh well… I’m calm and happy really. I have this project going with my Message Bible. I love that Bible. It’s not like any other. I can read pages at a time because of the way it’s written, (it’s in everyday language) and I was reading in Joshua the other day, and when I read it I highlight everything God does, and I learn much more about Him that way. And when I was reading Joshua and doing my highlighting, it emphasized to me that God owns it all and really is in control of everything. In Joshua’s life God was in control of the battles, and one time God actually came down and fought a battle for Joshua, because Joshua’s enemies hadn’t learned that the land belonged to God, and therefore belonged to Isreal because God promised it to them.

So, I can calm and relax with all the hectic in my life right now. My nursing school is on hold and God knows it, we’re excited about the new house and God knows it, we’re worried about the paperwork and the closing of the Nashville house and God knows that too. And whatever job I’m suppose to have right now, God knows about that too. It’s almost like He’s dangling all these things in front of me, asking me if I trust Him with it… and I do.. and I tell Him that I do…

My conversation with Him goes something like this…

You know I trust You with these things….. but it sure would be nice if this would happen…. But you know I do trust you.. but it really would be nice if that would happen… but if it doesn’t happen I’ll still trust you, but it sure would be nice if and on and on .....

Ever had that kind of conversation with God?

I think He’s shaking His head at me right now, probably with a smile on His face… me and my nutty self... oh well... I wonder with all of the activity just what He’s up too!
