BUT NOT FLY FISHING!
We just watched "The River Runs Through" which you don't need to rent or add to your netflix queue. I will tell you now, its one movie that if you weren't feeling stir crazy before you will definitely be feeling that way after, where your measure of salvation is the same measure as your technique of fly fishing. And then for a person like me...who's in "the wait" period of life, the LONG LONG narrations of the movie were just to LONG.
Oh "the wait" its got me. I knew waiting to hear back from Claremont University would keep me in excited anticipation until April 1st...but its April 5th and the days seem way to long!
Then I got a great email from my friend Lynn about something she heard about waiting "He talked about how the seasons of wait are not so much about our circumstances but our posture of worship...God hasn't forgot about us...in reality he is bringing us closer to himself."
Well...here I am waiting, of course, when I was wasn't expecting to wait. Here I am pushing myself everyday to rejoice in my worth God has covered me in. Here I am able to give my full attention to my husband and house and friends. Here I am uncomfortable after a few too many hours of silence. And here I am constantly wanting to make this time about being close to God.
I want to know that I choose God whether I am taking off into flight for a brand new huge adventure or whether I am sitting in a cold river waiting for my bait to be wanted by the next on comer.
Friends and Family, I have been so encouraged by your daily lives and the way you are living them, please keep it up, at least for my sake.
Just some lose thoughts that I hope encourage you too
Until then keep high-fives coming!
