"I was still waiting for everything to start...now it's over." -Elizabethtown

I feel like I am always waiting for the next big thing to happen in my llife. I am never satisfied with where I am right now. Its Monday, I am looking forward to Friday. I am married, now I am looking forward to having kids or moving or whatever is next. How can I be satisfied and stop waiting?

Waiting

Elisabeth Elliot says this about waiting on God:
He makes us wait. He keeps us on purpose in the dark. He makes us walk when we want to run, sit when we want to walk, for He has things to do in our souls that we are not interested in. There have been times, on the other hand, when He wanted me to run but I only walked. Let us remember, however that the Shepherd Himself sometimes makes us lie down. Some of the ‘delays’ are His own choice for us, so we must not always chide ourselves when the pace is not what we thought it should be. We must learn to move according to the timetable of the Timeless One and be at peace.

New Blog New Life


I have had an office job for going on 3 months now and there is a LOT of downtime. That being the case, I have decided to start a blog to fill some of that time.
People have a lot of things to say to you when you are newly married. I am glad because I need all of the advice I can get as a new wife. People say that being married is completely different, your life changes so much. I don't really feel like things have changed that completely. There are some new things that have been introduced, obviously, but overall I don't feel that different. I think Jeremy and I are pretty laid back and take things as they come. Pre-marital couseling has also been a tremendous help. I learned so much on how to have conflict. My job has been the biggest change. i have had to get used to waking up at 7am every morning. I still hate it, I don't think I will ever be used to mornings. The biggest change is making decisions together. I can't decide to go back to Houston. We have to talk about it and discuss pros and cons.
I love being married, though. I know it has only been 4 months, but I am excited about the future and growing together. I am excited about future conflict. I know it will be hard but that's where one seems to grow the most.
