Do you ever feel like God sends huge, neon "signs" your way, and you just happen to be tying your shoe at the exact same moment? Or could it be that everything is so fast-paced in today's world that no matter how bright and shiny that "sign" might be, we're going to fly right by it because if we stop...well, we might miss a newer, brighter, shinier sign! This is the story of my life! I am going-going-going so fast that I sometimes forget to stop to appreciate the now. But this week has been a testament to living in the moment, and cherishing the gifts that are so lovingly sprinkled throughout our lives.
I haven't posted about it (something about that going-going-going thing), but I did get that job that I interviewed for a few months ago! My heart has longed for the opportunity to work in the non-profit field again, and I am thrilled to be working for an organization that I believe in so passionately. Obviously, answered prayer #1! Since Chris is off this week, and I have been working, I've experienced a slight sense of "bed jealousy" that tugs me back towards the warm, snuggly pillow-haven that my husband is happily hogging. But, if that is the only down-side, I'm content to settle! Another desire of mine is to write a Children's Book. Until recently, this desire was just a little nagging voice in the back of my head. But, with a little encouragement from some very sweet supporters, I've ventured out and started doing a little research. Baby step, I know...but it's something. And by-golly if there hasn't been an article in the last 3 magazines I've picked up about how to get your book published, as well as a website pop-up on my computer at work today! Ummm, hello neon, flashing sign! Yes, Lord...I'm listening :) And as if that weren't enough, my little brother found out today that he too has been offered a new job. This is extremely exciting news, and I am so very proud of him for following his heart. I might be flying by the seat of my pants most of the time, but I know good things when I see them. And at the moment, I feel like I'm surrounded.

You go one with your bad self! Congrats on the new job!
If I've learned anything in the past few years its that God totally has a plan for you and it always works out in the end!
Lemme know if you need some pictures taken for that sweet children's book you're going to write.... *wink*
Follow your heart, write what God leads you to write, and let the publishing take care of itself. If God wants others to benefit from your loving spirit, he will find a way to share it.
I Love You,
Dad
I can't wait to read that children's book to my future grandchild!! You go girl!!
