A prayer....

I found this prayer on someone else's blog today. It seems to screem the unspoken words of my heart at the moment....

".....Lord, I know in my heart that your timing is perfect, but I still feel restless in my spirit as I wait. I want to see your plans for my life unfold now. I want to know ahead of time what the future holds for me. It is so hard for me not to try to control circumstances or manipulate situations so that things happen the way I want and according to my time frame. So, during this season of waiting, carve into my character all I will need to fulfill your amazing plans for my life. Don't let me waste my time while I wait on You. Grant me your perfect peace while you prepare me. Give me wisdom about when to move and when to be still. Rmind me daily that your timing is perfect and that your plan is for my everlasting good.I choose to wait on your timing."

A nice thought....

A good friend of mine sent me an e-mail today that had this though in it. It blessed my heart so just thought I would share :)

'To get something you never had, you have to do something you never did.'
When God takes something from your grasp, He's not punishing you, but merely
opening your hands to receive something better. Concentrate on this
sentence... 'The will of God will never take you where the Grace of God will
not protect you.'

WE are enjoying our spring break (with rain and all)! Tomorrow Jarred and I are off to Mobile to the Exploreum and then to spend a night with my G-pa. We are looking forward to the trip. We have had a great week so far. It has been so nice to not have school work to do! I wanted to get out of the house and do all kinds of outdoorsy types of things, but alas that rain has prevented that. It has been a nice, quite, and restful few days and for that I am so very thankful!! Jarred has spent most of his time playing with our new favorite toy, the Wii Fit-btw if you have a Wii and don't have this thing then ladies you MUST get it. You will absolutely adore the yoga and all the other fun games!

Hope to share some pix when we get back in town.
