I Wish...

...I could think of something brilliant or witty to write. I can't.

Life is crazy. It takes unexpected twists and turns. I'm smiling up at a sunny, blue sky without a cloud on the horizon. Next thing I know, I'm face-down in a dark tunnel, not sure if I'll ever see the light of day again. And yet...I know...God is in control. He has every one of my days written in His book.

With some regret, I trimmed back my moon flower bush. It got hit by frost last week and was drooping badly. I loved those flowers blooming in the night. But still I know. They will bloom again someday.

My sister took Dad shopping for a sweater the other day. He clung closely to her side, for he didn't want to get lost. This is a good thing. As they stood in line at the checkout counter, he said quite loudly, to no one in particular, "I hope I'm still following the right person." This is also a good thing...to be sure you're following the right person.

"For since the world began, no ear has heard, and no eye has seen a God like you, who works for those who wait for Him." Isa. 64:4 NLT

And in the waiting... I will praise Him...
