Life has been good. Perhaps my dream of going to Tennessee will soon be a reality…how exciting..more details to come! As I sit this morning with little Tornado watching a movie behind me on my bed I stir with impatience. Impatience for what you might ask..well hubby and I feel as though we are in limbo…so to speak. He is finishing up his last semester of normal classes. By the time he finishes this semester he will have spent the last 5 years in school…that encompasses our whole marriage. I am looking forward to a break. It’s hard raising three kids so close in age. It’s funny that I refer to going into full time ministry a break. Right now my husband works a full time job, goes to school full time, has a full time family and puts in a part time position at a church that is struggling so very very much. Sadness over the church situation is ever lurking in the back of our minds. Our patience for God’s timing of going into full time ministry is driving us crazy. We are so used to God working so quickly in our lives..our kids are a prime example…and I haven’t even asked for patience this time ( I stopped asking for that soon after Tornado turned 1—hence his name) It’s funny how you seem to antsy all at once for lots of things…for instance..it will be nine years since I have been to china and felt ever so drawn to the stories of thousands or maybe even millions of parent less little girls, for Pete’s sake I haven’t even finished having my own kids yet…then there is wanting so desperately to have one church out of the 10 or 15 that have contacted us to be a pastor. The funny thing is that I am satisfied with where I am. I love my house, I love the area we live in. Our neighbors are great! We have a very happy life. We both really want to be serving God full time in a place where all of our time goes to serving a church. We have done a lot of that here but it’s this nagging call. It is hard to wait. By no means am I complaining. Confused yes……There is so much more to the church situation but I cannot go down that road….to protect the names of the innocent of course 
here are some pics to help you have a great day!
