What have I been up to??

I have been a bad blogger lately. It seems as if I blog in spurts! I am going to try and blog more often. I have spent a lot of time in Louisiana this summer. We had a family reunion at my parents house for the fourth of July. That was a lot of fun and I enjoyed spending time with them. I did some volunteer work in a low income area in Houston last week. We had a lot of fun working with the kids in the area. We helped the older girls make scrapbooks and taught them ways to read the Bible and think about verses as they read them.....

1. What does it say?

2. What does it mean?

3. How can I apply it in my life?

I do not have any pics from the week and could probably not post them anyway.

I am going through a really rough time in my life right now and will eventually blog about it, but I am not ready yet. I prayed for some answers and the next day I read this post about waiting on God, read this post about God being faithful, and got in my car and Waiting by John Waller was playing. So I guess my answer is to just keep waiting and be patient.

"I'm waiting, I'm waiting on You, Lord And I am hopeful, I'm waiting on You, Lord Though it is painful, But patiently, I will wait"- John Waller

Painful is an understatement. I am 99% sure this is the hardest thing I have ever had to go through. I have hope that in the end, I will look back and realize why things went the way they did. But in the meantime, it's painful.
