Cold, Knitting & Peace:::..


Last thing I knew it was in the 80's here. But all of a suden it dipped into the high 20's low 30's last night and is freakin freezing today! Darn being an Arizona weather kind of a girl. Mom decided to try making a pumkin spice latte today! It was good, but I think I will stay faithful to my dear mocha lattes.

It's been the perfect weather to sit in a chair with a warm blanket and a sleeping kitten on my lap, while I work on knitting a sweater. Yes, I am twenty going on ninty. :)

So many things have happened from my last blog post to know where to start.. God has been teaching me so much about resting in His plan. Every time I try to turn left or right. Each time I attempt to go here or there. Or do this or that. It seems as though God picks me up and sits me back down in the same spot I started and tells me to wait. No starting nursing school next semester, no going on a mission trip in January, no leading a college Bible study just wait and focus on God. Even though I have struggled with just being at peace with this place in life. Once I think about it, I'm enjoying this time. School is slow and fairly easy this semester and God has given me the time to sit and talk with other girls about Him and spend more time with Him. Many semesters before this one I didn't have that time to offer.

2 Thess 2:16-17 (NIV) May our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God our Father, who loved us and by his grace gave us eternal encouragement and good hope, encourage your hearts and strengthen you in every good deed and word.
