Still waiting for the first flowers to poke through the ground here and trying not to wish too hard for a bigger house with a yard. Patience. It is a virtue indeed. <br />:)Carolinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04953764061091454844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6072583027504108914.post-6243258010696385302011-03-14T22:00:34.111-07:002011-03-14T22:00:34.111-07:00So true what you wrote Sue.

We had a huge disappointment - Zach didn't get a match for a residency - and I'm feeling sick at heart for him. But luckily there's more than one way to skin a cat (my surgeon brother didn't get a match when he was in school either and he just had to zig zag a bit). I feel we all just need to have a little faith, see where this new path leads, and all will be well by and by. Something wonderful we never would have imagined, most likely! But tonight Katie is comforting a bitterly discouraged husband, so prayers are in order.karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16313237142656662148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6072583027504108914.post-11219398318793228582011-03-14T19:54:28.217-07:002011-03-14T19:54:28.217-07:00I'm truly at fault in this post...

I now realize how much things are worth waiting for! <br />There is a song our choir sings in church...it goes "kids under construction, the Lord isn't finished yet.".

It's probably beacause I have finally figured out that I don't have as many of them left as I had when I was in my 50's, or even my 60's. I can remember how impatient I was for things to happen right when I wanted them to, but I guess I have finally mellowed. Not that I don't still want things to happen, but that I am willing to let things happen in good time. It just doesn't pay to get all worked up over something one doesn't have any control over. This is something I have tried to tell myself all my life. Maybe I finally got it. I wonder.Darlenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16797132860053426517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6072583027504108914.post-58518162708206429942011-03-14T18:44:49.583-07:002011-03-14T18:44:49.583-07:00Absolutely beautiful post sweet Sue.

Second, when I do finally give in and let the Lord take over and wait for his time...it's because I'm so exhausted trying to do it all myself..and third, I really want the Lord to have patience with me, to not rush his judgements and mercies of me and thankfully he doesn't..he seems to never give up and continually blesses me..even or especially, when I don't deserve it.yayahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12047536332780197024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6072583027504108914.post-73644941561622514672011-03-14T15:48:38.065-07:002011-03-14T15:48:38.065-07:00This is a great post!
