Time is both Creeping and Flying

Time is both creeping and flying.  

Josie just hit her 1st quarter at school. I don't know of any child that loves going to school so much.  But the homework, piano, and vision therapy after school can be overwhelming to her.  Oh, and she just started to wear contacts 👀.

Gary is still cruising back and forth from Winchester just wearing those tires down.  Corona sure has made his job harder but he rarely complains.  

My fall busy season of online quotes has slowed down.  So I started refinishing my kitchen cabinets in hope that it would make a month disappear. It did and I'm still not done.  Seriously, the stain would NOT dry and so it was days/weeks of waiting.  waiting.  waiting.  

And Zuri...well, she is still waiting too.  

Waiting.  Makes the days almost seem impossible but..

This is what keeps me putting one foot in front of the other....

God is not up there pacing back and forth wearing the finish off of the floor in front of His throne.  He's not even tapping His fingers together thoughtfully nor saying "I'll just go to sleep on this one and see if clarity will come in the morning".  He isn't so stressed out that He decided to go out for a run to clear His mind nor decided to binge eat Doritos.  He just doesn't.  

HE remains SEATED on His throne!  That means that He has it all under control, even if we don't feel it.  

No I don't feel like He has under control.  I mean come on, one of MY daughters is on the other side the world.  Like the farthest place away you can be.  His plan is obviously VERY different than mine.  

But every day instead of banging my head against the wall, I plead for Jesus to hold her for me.  And every day I plead that He would allow a miracle to open the hearts of the all officials that could allow travel.   Then  a hour later, I do it again.

I find it annoying that at the beginning of the year, I chose the word TRUST.  Ha, I even wrote it in fancy letters and hung it on my living room mantel, placing it under my little girl Zuri's picture.  On those rare moments that I sit down and prop my feet up... those letters are staring right back at me.  

I guess God knew clear back then that I would need the reminder.  He's got this.  Just trust.
