Good Morning. This morning I just want to briefly share something with you. Some of you who receive this email have been walking this journey with me for the entire 6 years that I've been walking it. Others of you have been here for just a brief part of those 6 years. Whatever the length of time you have been reading my heart morning after morning, I want to say thank you for the privilege of walking together. Thank you for allowing me to have shared my time with the FATHER with you.
Having said that I will say that I will now begin a time of quiet. For those that have been here this entire journey we have walked some hard roads together. We have walked through relocations, the death of my Mom, the deaths of many of your loved ones and many other really hard things. Some roads, though, are much too private and much too important to walk publicly. I have begun such a journey. The warfare has been great in recent months and I believe after seeking counsel and much prayer that it is now time to say I'll see ya later. Not, I won't ever write again, but for a good while, I'd say a year or so I will be quiet and what the FATHER and I share will be just that...what HE and I share.
Some times we must take time to sit back and just be with HIM and no one else. This is one of those times for me. I'm going to leave you this morning with the words of a song by Greg Long. I could share so many, but I will share just this one and say if over the course of the next 12 months, GOD brings me to your mind, pray for me. Ask GOD to hold my heart ever closer to HIS OWN. Ask HIM to do the work in my life that ONLY HE can do. I love you...Because of JESUS!
This is a song, but it is also the prayer of my heart:
In the Waiting
Pain, the gift nobody longs for...still it comes
And somehow leaves us stronger when it's gone away.
Pray... I try and pray for your will to be done...
But I confess, it's never fast enough...
For me, It seems the hardest part is waiting on YOU,
When what I really want is just to see YOUR hand move
I want a peace beyond my understanding
I want to feel it fall like rain, in the middle of my hurting
I want to feel your arms as they surround me
and let me know that it's OK...
To be here in this place,
Resting in the peace that only comes in the waiting
Time, time to let it go and just believe
Trusting in what noone else, but YOU can see
Free, freedom from the fears that close me in
When I can't beyond where I have been
But then again, the silence doesn't mean that I'm alone
As long as I can hear, that I'm still YOUR own
I want a peace beyond my understanding
I want to feel it fall like rain in the middle of my hurting
I want to feel your arms as they surround me
and let me know that it's OK...
to be here in this place
Resting in the peace that only comes, in the waiting
In the waiting...yeah...
O...I want a peace beyond my understanding
I want to feel it fall like rain...
In the middle of my hurting.
I want to feel your arms as they surround me
and let me know that it's OK...
to be here in this place
Resting in the peace that only comes....
In the waiting

I love all these blog connections! Although I don't "know" any of you guys from Jacksonville, I somehow don't feel quite so lonely at the thought of moving there! We've been looking around the World Golf Village area (we is actually my husband and the realtor, I've only seen it via the listings we are sent). We've been told to look in the St.John's area due to the good schools and the closer location for Greg's job. We've also been told to look anywhere from Racetrack Road on down. Not sure quite what all that means or if it's accurate! :) I hope to come to Jax sometime in the beginning of May to check out some of these neighborhoods. My daughter is currently at a private school here, but we are considering the public schools there in Florida. Any thoughts on this would be GREAT! I know Trayc homeschools but I'm not sure my daughter would be up for that. I taught school in my before kids years, but Bailey is convinced that I don't know what I'm talking about! Thanks for posting and I look forward to hearing from you again!
