The Bus Is Right On Time

The summer has taken me a lot of fun places with Brad and the youth group....it has been nice that our girls are a little older now and we can all go on some of the crazy adventures.  BUT, it still has been difficult waiting for my voice to get better and wondering what is going on with it....I am working on being positive in this waiting time....I suppose GOD is kind-of making me quiet so I can try to listen to HIM better.  One mouth....two ears.....sometimes I forget that whole ratio thingy.  Anyway, missing my ability to sing sometimes makes me feel like this big bus came out of nowhere and hit me or that I am just wasting time without it and sometimes I wonder....what is the point?!

Look at the word NOWHERE.....You can't possibly be NOWHERE (some English teacher will probably correct me on my saying it that way :)....instead, you are NOW HERE.  I am now here in this moment....it is exactly where God wants me right now and there is always a point...even when we doubt.  Brad has been given a three week sabbatical from the church due to his work through a really tough year of losing our lead pastor and needing some re-energizing....reviving.  One of the ladies from our congregation wrote us a nice note to encourage us during this sabbatical and she wrote a really special side note to me telling me that I have been a wonderful example even through my struggle with this voice thing....that was such a special blessing from GOD.

Even when we feel like we've been hit by a bus....or can't just jump off the struggle bus (some of our youth like to say that :) we can still praise GOD....here's something funny:  At Unity Fest I learned a little Russian from Everfound.....they said to say Yellow Blue Bus......then change the B in Bus to a V.  

I laughed as I thought that is probably the bus that hit me :) It means "I love you" in Russian.....GOD lets this crazy love bus come out of NOW HERE and run us over sometimes...it's OK....there's always a point....we can trust HIM :)
